Clan names survive today and many of the tribe's people live in the same area as those who originally inhabited Maryland. The Accohannock Tribal Council, the governing body of the Tribe, meets every month to discuss Tribal business. A Tribal Association also meets monthly to discuss Tribal activities. Most of the Tribal members are fifty years and older, and grew up living off the land and water, and learned traditional skills and technology. Today, only a few descendants of the Accohannock Indian Tribe are able to continue the traditional occupations of their ancestors.
Most members work in small family businesses or at local minimum wage jobs.
The Accohannock Indian Tribe hosts the annual Native American Heritage Festival and Powwow the first weekend in May. During the rest of the year, members of the Tribe travel to powwows in Virginia, Delaware, and North Carolina to participate and to vend authentic Native American crafts. Tribal members also make presentations to schools and civic groups throughout the year. The process can take between two and eight years. The tribe also wishes to help the economy of our local area by building an authentic Native American Living Village and Museum.
