A descendent of two Virginia tribes is the featured speaker for a Falls Church workshop Nov. 15 to celebrate Native American History Month.
Artist, historian and educator Rose Powhatan will share her family’s history from the Pamunkey and Tauxenent (Dogue) tribes in Northern Virginia. She also will describe the original inhabitants of Falls Church and Fairfax County, what happened to them, how they have influenced us and ways we can honor their legacy.
The workshop, sponsored by the Social Justice Committee of Falls Church and Vicinity, is from 1 to 4 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, at the Falls Church Presbyterian Church, 225 E. Broad St.
The program is free but registration is requested at https://workshop_nov15_thhf.eventbrte.com.
The Social Justice Committee is part of the Tinner Hill Heritage Foundation, founded in 1997 to preserve African American history and promote racial reconciliation in Northern Virginia. For more information, visit www.tinnerhill.org.
