The Accomac people[3] were a historic Native American tribe in Accomack and Northampton counties in Virginia.[1] They were loosely affiliated with the Powhatan Confederacy.[1] Archeological and historical record suggest trading relationships between the Accomacs and the Powhatans as well as other related groups such as the Occohannocks.[4]
The term Accomac was eventually applied to a larger group of related Indigenous peoples living on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. To the north, the Eastern Shore of Maryland was home to the Pocomoke and related tribes, such as the Annamessex.[5] Further north, the Assateague people lived on the Atlantic Coast of Maryland and Delaware.[6]
