First Landing State Park gets marker recognizing Chesapeake Indians tribe

From Pilotonline.com article:
The highest natural ground in the city is a 30-foot bluff on the south shore of Broad Bay, across the water from First Landing State Park.

It was here, where the Pleistocene-era landform known as the Pungo Ridge crests in today’s Great Neck, that much of the region’s native population lived – and died – before the arrival of Europeans.
