	The history of the American Indians in Maryland is similar in many ways to their history in all of North America. The native population lived in groups with similar languages and cultures, often banding together in loose confederacies or chiefdoms to protect themselves from other groups. Some were associated with a specific locale for long periods of time, while others were much more nomadic. Some relied upon the sea, while others were hunters who relied more on wild game. Some grew crops in a farming culture. And many of these groups combined these cultures and practiced each of them at different times of the year or at different times in their history.

−	''Susquehannock'' – Their primary location was in the area of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. However, they controlled the lands from the Patapsco River, north on the western shore of Maryland and from the Sassafras River north on the Eastern Shore. They moved to Piscataway Creek in Prince Georges County in 1675. The English drove them out in 1763 and the remaining members of the tribe moved back to Pennsylvania and New York, where they became part of the Six Nation Iroquois Confederation.

	Another more simplified way of classifying the tribes of Maryland is detailed in Native American Tribes of Maryland, an online resource for students. That source states that the three main groups were the Nanticoke tribe (including the Piscataway and Conoy), the Powhatan tribe (including the Accohannock), and the Susquehannock tribe.
