For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Nacotchtanks Description An account of the resource The Nacotchtanks are a Native American Algonquian tribe who once lived on land which is now near the National Mall. <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/236">Captain John Smith noted that the village had 80 fighting men in 1608</a>. The Nacotchtanks likely spoke the Piscataway variation of the Nanticoke language. Prominent fur traders, the Nacotchtank village was a <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/246">trading center</a> for other Indian tribes on the East Coast and for European fur hunters. Disease from European settlers took a heavy toll on the tribe. Eventually, they moved to Anacostine Island, today called Theodore Roosevelt Island, in the late 1680s. Over time the tribe merged with other local native groups.
