Traces of these Native American sites have been uncovered all across DC — from the hills of Van Ness and Chevy Chase to the riverbanks of the Potomac and the Anacostia. On Indigenous Peoples Day, we honor the Piscataway, the Nacotchtank (Anacostans), and all who first made the District their home.

Besides the weekend farmers markets, there’s a Tuesday afternoon market every week outside the Sheridan School (36th Street and Alton Place). Enjoy the Tuesday market while you can - that one will end for the season after September.
