Presented by Victoria P. Ferguson

Victoria is an enrolled Citizen of the Monacan Indian Nation serving as a Member of the Historic Resource Committee. She is Program Director for Solitude/Fraction on the campus of Virginia Tech and their Presidential Ambassador to Native Nations.

Victoria will spend time speaking about how the Eastern Siouan Speaking Monacans lived in the interior of Virginia, surviving by using natural resources. The presentation will include Indigenous stories documented by relatives. She will also take questions throughout the presentation and encourage visitors to adopt some of the practices her ancestors used to protect the land.
