History Tidbit: Indians on Tangier Island, Virginia

Prior to the arrival of European colonists, Tangier Island was a summer retreat for the Pocomoke Indians for centuries. Although not much is known about these people, their existence is evidenced by the thousands of stone arrowheads that have been found all over the island.

Almost any morning after gale force winds have been blowing all night, new arrowheads can be found on Tangier Island's beach, uncovered by the blowing away of sand.

The discovery of an ancient offshore oyster midden, thousands of years old and containing a huge pile of shells which could only have been deposited by humans, is further evidence that there was a regular population on Tangier, at least in the warm part of the year, long before it had an English name. The enormous numbers of arrowheads and spear points found here suggest the island was probably much larger than recorded history can verify and was home to many animal species.

Tangier Island, VA: Odd Dialect

If you've never been to Tangier Island, you may have little knowledge of the unusually odd accent of its inhabitants.

The dialect is thought to have originated with the island's first settlers, who were likely lower-class British men from Cornwall in the 17th and 18th centuries. The island's isolation has allowed the dialect to evolve independently and retain many of its original characteristics.

The dialect is a distinctive variety of Southern American English. It's known for its deep vowels, rising consonants, and words like "ort" ("ought"), "yorn" ("yours"), "sot" ("sat"), and "iggy" ("going to").

To hear the watermen of Tangier Island speak, click on this video from nearly 16 years ago.
