<![CDATA[Exhibit Posters: Loudoun Native Voices Past and Present]]>Fri, 28 Jun 2024 17:30:00 GMThttp://harvestgathering.org/gallery1/exhibit-posters-loudoun-native-voices-past-and-presentLong before 1757, when Loudoun County, VA formed, when Fairfax County divided, the rich tapestry of this land was already woven by the first peoples who flourished here thousands of years ago. 
​Here in what is now called Loudoun County, Virginia, specifically let us acknowledge this space as the ancestral homelands and a gateway of three distinct language families: the Algonquin, Iroquoian, and Siouan speaking peoples. We honor the ancestors and acknowledge the Manahoac, Shawandasse Tula/Shawanwaki/Shawnee, Patawomeck, and Piscataway/Conoy, Susquehannock, Haudenosaunee/Tuscarora; and displacement, dispossession; and continued presence of the following recognized tribes:  Cheroenhaka Nottoway, Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Monacan, Nansemond, Nottoway, Patawomeck, Pamunkey, Rappahannock, and Upper Mattaponi; as well as an unknown number of extinct tribes.
