There were many Swanns that have served the military both our homeland security as Piscataways, but additionally from the American Revolution forward.

The Swanns have long documented history-both in the history books, but also oral history.

Only a Swann can tell Swann history despite what the previous Councilman stated in recent days. The original Popes Creek/Port Tobacco/Wicomico people know our history.

Tribal Family,

We are receiving our first delivery of winter coats this weekend from Running Strong for American Indian Youth. We are so grateful for the delivery as nights are becoming very frigid.

Running Strong and Mills have been providing these coats to Piscataway Citizens for three years now via our nonprofit 501(c)3 organization, Through Piscataway Eyes who has applied for these grants annually and been successfully awarded.
