among the offices that share interest in the Trail’s potential for education, recreation, ecotourism, heritage tourism and cultural and natural resource conservation. A sampling of agencies already invested in the Trail initiative include: Natural Resources Departments – The state departments have been heavily invested in assisting with the Chesapeake Bay Gateways and Watertrails Network for quite some time, and have been assisting with development of the Trail. Just a few of the activities the departments have been engaged in include developing water trails, providing outdoor recreation opportunities for visitors, and assisting the NPS with inventories and gap analyses related to Trail resources and public access. Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control Maryland Department of Natural Resources Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation Tourism Offices – State tourism offices have provided assistance with the Gateways and Watertrails Network since its inception, and are providing valuable guidance and assistance with Trail planning. Delaware Tourism Office Maryland Office of Tourism Development Virginia Tourism Corporation Eastern Shore of Virginia Tourism Commission State Historic Preservation Entities – Several state agencies have been involved with the Gateways and Watertrails Network for many years, providing guidance and support. These agencies are serving as active participants and consultants in Trail development. Maryland Historical Trust Virginia Department of Historic Resources Local Government Numerous local government entities, including Parks and Recreation Departments, local tourism branches, and others, have been involved with the Gateways and Watertrails Network and have participated in early scoping meetings and planning efforts related to the Trail. The District – Agencies within Washington, D.C., including D.C. Planning and Development and others, have participated in Trail planning. Efforts thus far have focused on the Potomac and Anacostia river corridors. Chesapeake Bay Commission – The Chesapeake Bay Commission is a policy leader in restoration of the Chesapeake Bay. As a tri-state legislative assembly representing Maryland, Virginia and Pennsylvania, the Commission’s leadership covers a full spectrum of Bay issues: from managing living resources and conserving land, to protecting water quality. The Commission has been deeply rooted in development of both the Gateways and Watertrails Network and the Trail. 46
Chesapeake Bay Indian Tribes and Descendant Communities The experiences and stories of the Chesapeake Bay tribes are intricately entwined with many of the resources and storylines associated with the Trail. It is essential to engage contemporary tribal representatives and descendant communities in developing, providing and participating in programs and visitor opportunities along the Trail. All efforts to engage the various tribes and communities of the region should be done with respect and sensitivity. Prerequisites for approaching and working with group representatives and members include an understanding and appreciation of present-day tribal mores (including communication preferences), and inter-tribal relationships. It is also important to know what associations, if any, a particular tribe has with the Trail to date. The NPS works closely with the Maryland Commission on Indian Affairs and the Virginia Council on Indians. Numerous Chesapeake Bay tribes have consulted on several Gateways and Watertrails Network initiatives and site-specific projects. Tribal representatives have participated in Trail scoping meetings and are invested in Trail planning and development. Some of the Tribes in the Chesapeake Bay region include: Accohannock Indian Tribe, Inc. Cedarville Band of Piscataway Indians, Inc. Nause-Waiwash Band of Indians, Inc. Pocomoke Indians Piscataway-Conoy Confederacy and Subtribes Chickahominy Indian Tribe Mattaponi Indian Tribe Monacan Indian Nation Nansemond Indian Tribe Pamunkey Indian Tribe Rappahannock Tribe Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe Nanticoke Indian Tribe Organizations The impetus for creating the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail came from organizations and individuals who saw the potential of the Trail to attract new interest in the Chesapeake Bay. These organizations, as well as many others, will help to broaden and sustain the base of support for the Trail. Friends of the John Smith Chesapeake Trail – The Friends of the John Smith Chesapeake Trail is a regional environmental organization dedicated to conserving 47
