Meet Drew Shuptar-Rayvis (Pekatawas MakataWai’U/ Sëk Xàskwim – Black Corn) a Citizen and Cultural Ambassador of the Pocomoke Indian Nation. In 2023-2024, Drew worked for the Maryland State Archives as a research and preservation specialist under an extension of the Mayis Indigenous peoples project known as T.O.H.P. (The Oral History Project, which is also the phonetic spelling of the Algonkian word for friend) to record the oral histories, life ways, traditions and regional memories of places with Maryland’s Eastern Shore tribal communities and several who are or were in the bounds of the eastern shore. In this lecture Drew will discuss his work with Mayis and T.O.H.P., and go into highlights from the oral history interviews, speaking of some of the joys and issues tribal communities still face, among them climate change and cultural erasure.
