The Piscataway /pɪsˈkætəˌweɪ/ or Piscatawa /pɪsˈkætəˌweɪ, ˌpɪskəˈtɑːwə/, also referred to as the Piscataway Indian Nation, are Native Americans, once constituting the most populous and powerful Native polities of the Chesapeake Bay region. They spoke Algonquian Piscataway, a dialect of Nanticoke. One of their neighboring tribes, with whom they merged after a massive decline of population following two centuries of interactions with European settlers, called them Conoy.
