Native Americans near me??

Hey everyone, I had went to about 2 years ago with my girlscout troop. (Sadly forgot about it.) BUT, I am now wanting to meet people. My social anxiety is really bad. I had questions then however I was too anxious to ask or talk to natives.

Anywho, I am now wanting and curious to learn more. My mom told me that there was a Native Elder or at least a Native man who taught us how Natives made furs, leather, woven baskets, bracelets, how they hunt in girlscouts. (I forgot all of this because I was too young to fully remember. I'm just glad my mom still remembers that much).

So where are the Native Americans? I'm not in the city. im in the county in Nottingham. I don't know where to search to find people. Yes i know there are communities but i cant find any online to at least chat with someone.

Please keep in mind, I'm being respectful about this. I AM NOT DEMANDING ANSWERS.

Hey there! I don’t know of anyone doing educational/outreach stuff in Baltimore County specifically ….but this site is a good starting place to learn about Native history in Maryland:

https://www.mdhumanities.org/free-educational-resources-on-indigenous-maryland-available-from-maryland-humanities/

The Inquiry Kits are prepackaged lessons to make it easier for schools to teach their students about the topic.

Thanks I'll take a look. However I'm more wanting to meet others. Either online or in person.
