In October 1983, the Governor created this
committee under the Maryland Historical Trust.
The Committee is to provide oversight and advice
regarding operational and development planning of
the Jefferson Patterson Historical Park and Muse-
um at St. Leonard, Calvert County. Opened to the
public in 1984, the Historical Park and Museum
extends along 2 1/2 miles of shoreline on the
Patuxent River and St. Leonard's Creek. It is
located on the 512-acre Point Farm, which was
deeded to the State by Mary Marvin Breckinridge
Patterson in honor of her husband, Jefferson
Patterson. Here scientists have found evidence of
pre-historic Indian sites, 10 to 12 million-year-old
invertebrate fossils, and remnants of early Europe-
an settlements. The Park and Museum will be
developed over the next ten years as an education-
al, research, and recreational facility.

Originally created in 1974 as part of the Com-
mission on Afro-American and Indian History and
Culture, the Commission became a separate agen-
cy by Chapter 148, Acts of 1976.

The Commission is charged with undertaking a
comprehensive study of indigenous American
Indian tribes and their influence upon Maryland
history and culture. The study includes, but is not
limited to, the Crees, Creeks, Cherokees,
Chippewas, Choptanks, Delawares, Haliwas, Lum-
bees, Nanticokes, Piscataways, Potomacs, Rappa-
hannocks, Seminoles, Susquehannas, and Wicomi-
cos. The Commission also studies the economic
and social needs of Indians in Maryland and makes
recommendations for the alleviation of such needs.

The Commission consists of nine members, a
majority of whom must be members of the Native
American Indian communities of Maryland. Ap-
pointed by the Governor with the advice and
consent of the Senate, members serve three-year
terms. They must have knowledge of Indian cul-
ture and history and be sensitive to the problems of
the Indian communities. Subject to the approval of
the Secretary of Economic and Community Devel-
opment, the Commission appoints the Director
(Code 1957, Art. 41, sec. 409-1).
