MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Md. (2015) – Lisa Savoy, currently a Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) Field Office Chief, is pictured at the Sugarloaf Regional Trails Montgomery Heritage Days – an indigenous history and culture celebration. Savoy holds a fan with turkey feathers and wrapped with elk leather. “Our dance and singing group, as well as a few elders, were there to educate the public and perform songs and dances specific to our tribe,” said Savoy, who is wearing a purple shawl that all native women have when wearing regalia or native attire.
Savoy looked back fondly over her military and government career while recounting her activities and service as a member of the Piscataway Conoy Tribe in support of an article in recognition of the 2021 National Native American Heritage Month. “You will learn the most about a tribe’s history by attending and supporting their pow wows or gatherings,” she said. “It’s a fantastic opportunity to purchase the bead work, arts and crafts, and you can learn the dancing. You’ll learn the meaning of why we do what we do.”
