George Washington University was created as Columbian College in 1821. While George Washington envisioned a university in the new nation’s capital, the dream became a concrete plan thanks to the efforts of four Baptist ministers in 1819. In 1821, President James Monroe signed the act of Congress that created the college. The act stated that no student would be denied admission and no individual denied trustee position on the grounds of religious denomination. During the Civil War, loyalties were split, and many students left the college to join the Confederacy. The college’s facilities were used to house a Union army military hospital. In 1904, Columbian University became the George Washington University. The area of present-day Washington D.C. marks the ancestral land of the Nacotchtank or Anacostan tribe, an Algonquin-speaking tribe whose presence along the Anacostia river has been archeologically dated to at least 2,000 B.C. The name “Nacotchtank” is derived from the word “anaquashatanik” which means a town of traders. The Nacotchtank benefited from the rich soil present at the confluence of the Anacostia and Potomac rivers. The cultivated corn, squash, and bean, and they engaged in trade with local nations as well as tribes in northern New York as a part of the larger Northeastern fur trade. The tribe’s robust agricultural systems and reserves prompted members of the Jamestown colony to request a trade for Nacotchtank corn in 1621. A confrontation erupted, and all of the settlers were killed except for their leader. Colonist John Smith noted this prosperity in 1608 during his mapping project in the American East. Tobacco demand motivated the expansion of the nascent Province of Maryland into territory bordering Nacotchtank villages. This proximity created a pretext for encroaching on Nacotchtank lands. Nacotchtank and Colonial forces came into direct contact during the Second Anglo-Powhatan War. The English allied with the Patawomekes, and together the mixed force raided, plundered, and burned a Nacotchtank village, killing 18 Nacotchtank. In 1666 the Colony of Maryland and 12 Indian nations signed the Articles of Peace and Amity, a treaty that established the right for signatory tribes, including the Nacotchtank, to remain on, fish, and cultivate their lands. It also made the Indian killing of an Englishman a capital offense and forbade Indians from entering English settlements with their faces or bodies painted, because “the English cannot easily distinguish one Indian from another.” If an Englishman and Indian were to meet on neutral ground, the Indian would be required to disarm or “he shall be deemed as an Enemy.” The treaty was used in 2020 by the Council of the District of Columbia to grant free fishing licenses to members of the Piscataway Indian Nation and Tayak Territory as well as the Conoy Tribe of Maryland. The treaty referred to the Nacotchtank as “Anacostanck,” which is a misinterpretation fo the tribe’s name. Increased contact infected native populations with measles, cholera, and small pox, and by 1668 the Nacotchtank, three quarters of their population eliminated because of disease, relocated to Anacostine Island which has since been renamed to its present-day name, Theodore Roosevelt Island. In the 1700s, the remaining Nacotchtank joined other tribes, and today there are no living Nacotchtank Indians. Washington D.C. officially has 4,000 indigenous residents.
