Should we cover the 3rd English - Powhatan war in the next video?
Just got subscribed to your channel, thanks for the well needed info that isn't being taught thoroughly in schools. Do you have anything about Indian mascots, and the history of that? And how the Natives oppose of it.
Yes, love the videos.
Yes
Yes please
yes please give us more.
Powhatan village location was found recently on a farming field right off water! Woodentent posts were found in the ground as described by John Smith
I thought it was next to Walmart.
@@altonrowell60 Dollar General
Yep. I walked the property. Owners new my descendant family name. Powhatan gifted me a box turtle shell on my walk. ❤🇺🇸
This was brilliant. I'm from Britain and we only know fragments of American history especially early history. I learned so much. I also like that it is bite-sized. Around 10 minutes is easy to listen to and absorb. Now subscribed and looking forward to hearing about the 2nd & 3rd Powhatan Wars. Thanks for your work
Pocahontas's remans should be brought back.
I haven't heard anything about the Jamestown massacre in almost 20 years I forgot all about Pocahontas, it's so good to listen to real American history for change and not revisionist woke history.
This is not American history. This is English and Indian history. America did not exist for more than a century and a half after these events.
Also, what fake American history have you been listening to?
It's history know about it at least
I'm in Petersburg Va. We have a rock called the Pocahontas Basin that has a few stories leading back to her. None of the make much sense but still interesting fokelore.
@@georgeortiz3608 No
Well people aren’t exactly going to talk about it everyday are they?
You could have gone to re-read on the subject your damn self, by doing a little of your own research, instead of waiting for someone else to bring it up.
The tone in your comment is that everyone else is being ignorant for not brining it to your attention sooner.
Go f@cking read something. It’s nobody’s fault but your own, that you don’t know more on things like this. You have to search out knowledge, not wait for ppl to bring it to you.
You deliver excellent content to your audience. It's very interesting material. All of your effort put into creating this video is much appreciated. I'm truly grateful for your help!

I had ancestors who survived the 1622 war. They had a farm up river, near Henrico, neighbors to John Rolfe. One ancestor family owned the farm and employed another ancestor as their indentured servant. They appeared as survivors in the 1623 census taken. I had never heard of this war either until I started researching my ancestry.
Pislik herif o tarih başka senin şu anki zamanın başka gerizekalı soytarı nerden buliyorsun yasadinmi o tarihte?
So awesome I had ancestor who came over as indentured servant in 1630 to Massachusetts

My ancestor’s plantation was raided, many killed. Basse’s Choice. Nathaniel Basse and wife, Mary Jordan were in England. One son survived by hiding in the woods. Powhatan is my 12th great grandfather through this child who hid in the woods.
I'm very interested in the native American history and ancient history in western Nebraska. I live in a town called Sidney Nebraska. There was a very old native burial here accidentally unearthed during a road build in the 1990s. Anything you can uncover as far back would be great
they killed a bunch of Irish not born in America after they worked the roads they didn't pay them and just killed them buried them along the roads
Off topic, but I learned a few years ago that the Choctaw Indians, who were displaced from Florida and Mississippi to Oklahoma (Trail Of Tears) were on their lands in OK in 1848 when they encountered the arriving Irish, who themselves had fled Ireland after the Great Famine. The Choctaw were amazed at how emaciated the Irish were. They took pity on them and actually collected charitable donations from their tribe ($750) which they sent to Ireland. The Irish recognized the charity of the Choctaw people and in 2009 erected a statue (9 glass feathers) to them in County Cork. Choctaws, in return, made then Irish president, Mary Robinson, an honorary tribal leader.
I was born and raised around the chesapeake, my 2nd time metal detecting beginners luck I hit a 1750s colonial coin! Blew my mind how much history has probaly long been forgotten where seemingly there is nothing anymore. My best guess of the coi. Being a hundred yards from the water maybe trading with a tribe? I have a shoebox full of native artifacts my grandfather found over the years plowing feilds.
Nice find! I always go metal detecting and never found anything good yet unfortunately. : (
I found a old smoking pipe stem made of clay hard to date it since clay pipes were still being used as late as the early 1900's but it looks primitive so it could be from the 1600's
Give the artifacts back to the tribes. These do not belong to you.
@@DreaminNirvana yeah? Then give all horses back to Spain since they aren't native to America. Then demand they all be sent back to Asia since that's where they originated from. Then tell Mexico to speak the language of the Incas. You know, since Spanish didn't originate there. And what actual tribe would you give those artifacts to? The 1 that currently lives near where it was found? What if that place had been conquered from them. Or are you implying that all native American tribes are the same? How unpolitically correct of you. We can keep on talking about who owns what or who owes who all day. These artifacts found were most likely thrown away or sold/traded or just plain lost. Not everything that someone finds has deep, religious or even valuable meaning to them.
@@HESSIAN578 hehe, that made it melt mighty quick...i found a skull once still in its head dress, i took it home and used it as a dream catcher..
It's actually from the Powhatan dialect that we get the word "tomahawk", which is still used today. Ironically, the iron/steel-bladed tomahawks that are so iconically associated with American Indians, were actually introduced by the Europeans. People often think of them as only being a Native American weapon, but they were used by the Whites every bit as much, if not more so. The word means something to the effect of "it cuts by striking".
Tom means twin. Hawk/eagle was and is the animal used to imply leadership. So tomahawk is a dual headed weapon or multi function tool
Not to be confused with war club/axe combos which were in use by the people of the longhouse tribes prior to European arrival
@@pinchevulpes you sure? It's funny to me how many regions said to be home to those people have insane asylum and oddfellows property on them
@@inquisitive- excuse me?
@@pinchevulpes locations that were said to have long house tribes also happen to have some of the most glorious architecture that were used as insane asylums, orphanages, state hospitals and so on.
One of my mother's family ancestors, a Christopher Reynolds, arrived in Jamestown in 1622. It was never clear if he arrived before the massacre or after. Either way, he survived and his bloodline survives to this day four hundred years later. He was a servant on a farm across the James River from Jamestown.
My ancestor Thomas arrived in Jamestown in 1614. Wonder how he survived.
Nobody cares.
What if someday, people will discover a new evidence of the Jamestown massacre. This evidence might show us shines in massacre
@@Ethan-xf4or you're wierd
@@Ethan-xf4or poor alcoholic I mean Native American. Go smoke some copium in your peace pipe.
The complexities of Native American culture, politics, relationships is fascinating.
Please do a video on the Unconquered Seminole who against all odds managed to remain in Florida ! It would be an interesting video.
Only because the swamps there were considered worthless
@@kenneth9874regardless the Seminole never gave in & resisted & managed to remain on the land & preserve their way of life well into the 20th century.
@@kenneth9874they made multiple unsuccessful attempts to drive them from there nonetheless. The site of Jamestown itself was considered worthless by the Powhatans. That’s how the English were able to build their town there.
I lived in Richmond Virginia and I owned a piece of bloody run which was one of the battlefields of the war and across from Bloody Run was Chimborazo Hospital of the Civil War and to just to add that last bit of history seen from my backyard was The C&O railroad tunnel collapse
I am a descendant of Richard Pace of Jamestown who, the story goes, was informed by a young native boy of what was to happen and crossed the James River for his and his wife's safety, and alerted the town as to the attack. My other ancestors Rev Samuel Maycock, and his wife died in the massacre.
Powhatan was my 13th GreatGrandmother ,and her older sister is related to my late husband. I found out anout my familys connection in 2002. But just researched & found out my late husbands Mother was Powhatan as well. We wee distant cousin's, srveral times over,because our families married into each others family,many times throughoutvTennesse,Kentucky.I sorta of misspoke here I meant We are of Powhatan descent, my late husband's Mother's side can be traced to one of" Pocahontas" older sisters and my Father's Mother's side back to Pocahontas. But I would be PROUD to be ANY Native tribe. I wish we still lived as they did.
@@TEAMWHAT99 " I wish we still lived as they did." You mean attacking other tribes and killing their leaders to take control of their lands? It doesn´t sound that much different than what we humans achieve today.
Thank you for sharing this video with us! Stories like this MUST be taught at European and US schools!
Please do a video about the third English-Powhatan war and one about the residential schools!
Several of these maps and illustrations were in my 5th grade US History book, and again in 11th. This narrative is nearly identical to a chapter on Jamestown 1st generation before moving on to Massachusetts 1620s.
This was in the 60s and 70s in a school on the Gulf Coast.
Except "this" history is very biased toward the English settlers.
@@mikefranklin1253 It wasnt
@Mike Franklin no it isn't.
@@mikefranklin1253how so?
Thank you for this video. As a product of the California school system, this is much different and more informative than what we were taught.
Me, too. The syllabus I was taught, was that Christopher Columbus was the 1st human being to set foot on the Western Hemisphere.
Eagerly awaiting for a follow up video on the Jamestown Massacre. Very well done.
I live on property that was once a part of Martins Hundred, only a few miles downstream from Jamestown. Most history books say the massacre covered land from Richmond, down to modern Newport News, on the James river. The smoke could be seen from miles away. Martins Hundred lost the most lives of any plantation. (according to wiki and other local sources).
It amazes me how there are subdivisions built on land that had so much history. I helped with an archaeological dig just outside of Jamestown proper. We visited some of these sites, as well. My ancestors plantation, across the James, was also raided and burned and many killed. One child survived from that attack and I am descended from that child. He married the granddaughter of Powhatan. He is my 12th great grandfather.
Thank you. Like most people. I was totally unaware of this story. Excellent quality video.

It's false history that promotes white supremacy. Seek the people who were ethnically cleansed so you can live here.
There's so many stories on all the plantations of that day. I covered a few on my page. But there's so much history. You can't learn everything. It's impossible
The house I am sitting in and live in, as I post this, is 100 years older than this event. To me, mind blowing.
Very good non judgemental coverage of history. Thank you for the professionalism. Something not seen today very much.
Yes very very VERY non judgemental. Imagine someone taking your young daughter, making her change her name, change her religion, marry some stranger and then pretend it wasn't rape.
@@thersten Are you talking about Pocahontas or Sacagawea?
@@therstenlmao natives constantly rape and ate people
A native named Chanco warned the settlers at the Jamestown settlement of the approching attack allowing them time to flee.
Chanco liked those white girls.
@Jdoe-gf5oz. Nah. He wanted the fire water.
Yup - Chanco lived with a settler named Richard Pace and he was told the plan and to kill Pace but he warned him instead- giving the Jamestown settlers a chance but not enough time to warn the surrounding settlements and they were devastated by the attack- Jamestown made it out better, but 1/3 of the English settlers were killed that day.
I was not a confederacy. It was a chiefdom. The Starving Time was caused by English inability to feed themselves and a drought. The Natives had less food to share as a result of the drought. The causes for conflict were complex to say the least.
Other Native American confederations founding stories: “we are brothers so we must not do war with eachother, this friendship will make us very powerful and rich, may the confederacy bring prosperity to us all.”
Powhatan confederation formation story: so do you wanna keep your independence or do you wanna keep your kneecaps?
Very similar to what our tribes went through during the Mohawk wars, we were on the losing end of the war
@@thestonecanoe3159 they are the NEPHLIUM giants offspring. USING DNA.
Sounds like an offer you can't refuse.
But the English people were intolerant because they would not accept the Indians as equals because they were not Christians. Being polytheist, or "pagan", was equal as being sub-human in those days. I had the same experience a long time ago when was living in the States as my American neighbors regarded me as pagan because I was Catholic with an independent mind. Many American people don't like you when you speak your mind
You picked up that Powatan was organizing his empire as Al Capone did in the 1920s...or as Borgia did in medieval Italy....or as many other medieval princes...such as Henry replacing objecting nobles with loyal toadies .
It doesn't help to cover up and whitewash such obviously objective views on one side because you find one side or the other more personally romantic or at the end in a weakened state.
This was the elaborate and violent gang life the 17th cen Virginia Colony settlers stumbled into as a tiny minority on the Continent. They had their flaws too from our "enlightened POV" but so did Powatan and his rivals.
I am an actual Powhatan Indian, and I had forgotten at least 1/2 of that.
This story makes it clearer to me why the English/British allied primarily with the Iroquois, while up north, the Algonquians allied with the French. Iroquois and Algonquians were at war, probably for centuries, and the arrival of the Europeans just amplified that old conflict - before bringing it to an end around the late 18th - early 19th century.
And when the American Revolutionary War ended, the Americans who remained loyal to the Crown left. Many came to Canada and are remembered as United Empire Loyalists. What gets overlooked is the other losing participants also came to Canada, namely the Iroquois. They filled the land that the Huron lived on before they got wiped out early by other native people. By modern terms, that makes the Iroquois and Loyalist “refugees”.
I enjoyed your video, I especially like the fact you have listed your sources. I think the massacre of 1622 was one of the most skillfully planned attempts by the Indians to wipe out the Europeans. I did a video on the same topic a while back. It’s nice to see that you have gotten such excellent reviews and views on your video.
Skillfully planned? Sounds like it was cowardly to enter people's homes invited, eat their food and then murder them.
Not a massacre when someone is encroaching on your lands and regards you as barely human.
@@788lakers A Massacre, is a Massacre, no matter who does it. Please remember that the English are not the first group that were massacred by the Powhatan
@@WyomingTraveler I agree a massacre is a massacre but not in this instance. Hostilities were already running high. I would’ve viewed it as a massacre if they choose to eradicate the English which they could’ve have easily done but wanted to send a message. Native battle tactics differ from English ones. Far to many times stories are told by those who are victorious.
A massacre is a massacre. I encourage anyone who disagrees to look up the definition in a dictionary. It doesn’t matter the reason for which the massacre took place.
Great content! I myself am a descendant of John Rolfe/Pocahontas (11th great-grandmother).
Nope
There is so much murkiness in the true history of this region, and era, that I can't get enough information on this subject. Thank you.
And going to Jamestown the air is erie
At 9:08. Powhatan or other native tribes did not use flaming arrows. That's a Hollywood invention.
My ancestor was Thomas Brasington , he was also killed in 1622 in this uprising

Can you do a video on what did the Native brother or cousin of Pocahontas learn about the English when the went to England and returned?
I drove across the three bridges of the Mata, the Po ,& the ni rivers. Always loved crossing them.
Great work. Nice to have access to accurate, fact based, uneditorialized, history. Thank you.
I am from Virginia, and my ancestors were from the Nansemond Indian Nation which at one point was apart of the Powhatan Empire. We are still here!! Even if they have tried to erase us. I love my heritage.
how do you feel about this?
My wife’s relative, Samuel Stringer was killed and scalped 1622. He is named in the dead list sent to England.
thanks for the history.
Thanks for the video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you Sir for the video and the truth.....Aho
This should be included in American history classes.
Seems super not likely to happen these days.
American schools need to focus on teaching basic math, the kids today are too use to using debit cards and have no clue how to make change with real cash!
They wont because its against the narrative that they have of European Colonists being evil. I bring this up as well as many other atrocities committed by native Americans and they're arguments are literally just "cope"... You cant teach people like this who live in a different reality and close their eyes/ears to history, good or bad. :(
@@joebeamish correct. Those trump supporters are taking over the school boards.

Great video just subscribed. Am doing work on ancestor Thomas Savage. Would love to see your take on him during the early years if get around to it. Look forward to more videos, thank you
When I lived in this area, I kept bugging the Yorktown Park Rangers why there was no real mention of the Spanish mission west of the battlefield. Not even a marker on the Colonial Parkway. The Spanish Jesuits took Opecancanough to Spain where he developed his anti- European stance.
What made him hate the Spanish?
They thought they brainwashed him. When he got back to the Americas . He killed the Spanish that where with him. Then went back to being Chief again.
Perfect timing for a youtube reccomadation studying for APUSH
and people think that indians (native americans) were innocent
And thats the real problem. We were brutal mother f*ckers. Cut people up, raped women, killed children. We were not nice.
And people think puritans (european warmongers) were innocent until they show their true colors, like Audrey did yesterday at Covenant School.

Remember Tupac Amaru 2 had one of the biggest natives rebellion against the Spanish in the Americas. Also the reason where tupac shakur's name came from.
They should have fought harder while in africa against the tribes that enslaved them...
@@kenneth9874 What are you talking about 😂. Since when the native Americans were in Africa? I’m talking rebellions in the American continent against the Europeans. Peru to be more specific. Also they couldn’t enslaved them. The Spanish tried everything. Fact the Incas had the biggest empire in the Americas. They are equivalent to the Roman Empire to this side of the world.

I remember reading a couple of articles in National Geographic about the rediscovery of a lost Virginia plantation called Martin's Hundred, near Williamsburg, that was decimated in the Powhatan Uprising of 1622. They even found a grave where one of the massacre victims was buried.
My immigrant ancestor was an indentured servant when he arrived at Jamestown in 1616. It was this massacre where my ancestor fought, won his release from his indentured servitude and received 50 acres - he later served in the house of Burgess.

Reparations to the Tribes for their effort. It was not enough.
Can i give a bit of advice on this video. Its so much nicer to hear someone's real voice in these types of videos. Even if you don't feel your voice is as polished as an AI , its just so much more engaging with a real voice. I've been nothing this recently with videos of this style format. Lots of them are heavy with AI generated images and an AI voice over which for me creeps into the
" uncanny valley " territory where you become very aware you are listening to an artificial voice. Your image work is fantastic and i think the AI voice is a turn off.
Think of it like this, if you were listening to an audiobook and you discovered that the voice wasn't actually the author it was effectively a robot its hard to unhear the robot. Im just trying to be helpful as i am subscribed amd find the topics you cover fascinating.
The best part of this story was how the English went America all over their asses.
Indeed. Ultimate karma 🙏
We don't f*#k around 🇬🇧💪👊
Can’t wait for the English to all get their asses handed
Lairs , and backstabbers, not to be trusted. Like The Palace, The Vatican, DC. Look They are still doing the same thing 400+ years later. Now morphing into NWO. Wake up 🤡🌎
John Smith warned them not to trust them. He was right. Too bad he was unable to stop them.
They couldn’t have been fighting the Iroquois the liberals have repeatedly told us what a utopian paradise Native America was prior to the white man. One big happy family of natives in tune with nature.
Nice synopsis 😎👍
There were a number of times smaller native American tribes asked to go into the Spanish mission system so as not to be annihilated by the Comanche. Similarly, tribes that were victims of enslavement and human sacrifice by the Aztecs helped Cortez conquer Mexico.
And see how that played out for them. They made an alliance of interest, and after eliminating the Mexicans, the Spaniards were able to defeat the other tribes one after another. I just don't find these facts interesting.
@Hamood Grünstein of course you don't lol.
Every nation has traitors. Unless the numbers were large the treason is insignificant.
Powhatan knew all three where coming. French, English and Spanish. He held them off as long as he could. Would have been better if Powhatan could trust them. Just like today. They (English Government/CABAL ) Crooked AF!!
Great video! Thanks
it's amazing the extent to which Natives' numbers, differences, and beliefs have been generally witheld from American education.
most Americans just don't care. we all die and life is short. live your life and enjoy what you have there's nothing you can do to resurrect past generations who lost wars and were overtaken. entire civilizations have risen and fallen, wiped out unjustly or justly. make your family wealthy and safe so you can enjoy life until you die and leave lots of wealth to your children. be happy and thankful what what you have and try to do no harm. peace.

Thanks again. It is so nice to hear the history of the real Americans. Not the settlers or invaders but the precious native people who could have taught so much to so many.
yeah they taught us how to rape your prisoners, scalp them, and torture them. Then they acted friendly and killed people they were friends with.
They taught how to massacre men, women and children. They weren't all noble.
What could they have taught anyone? Lol ... They didn't even have the wheel when the white man got here

My ancestors arrived in Jamestown Settlement in 1611. My 7 times great grandfather, William Stone, was the 3rd Colonial Governor of Maryland 1649-1655 and my 5 times great uncle, Thomas Stone, signed the Declaration Of Independence....
I was under the impression that only the white man killed and the native americans were nothing but peaceful.
warfare in the early days between the spanish and then the english and the native population did not really center around the gun.they were as you stated slow to load and very inaccurate.a society with greater numbers althuogh essentially without metal could use flint tipped bows to far greater effect than the primitive firearms they faced.the big factor was as cortez and raleigh both noted that the armour they wore made them unlkillable to anything the natives had except in close combat and even there with metal swords knives and spears the invaders had an edge.armour though was less than they wore at its peak around 1500 did decline with the advent of the gun but was still an integral part of colonist soldiers armoury until the early 1700s.indeed the spanish still wore breastplates and heavy helmets up until the 1820s and the mexicans carried on the tradition with cavalry for much longer.it was a technology the natives had no answer to.
Very interesting. Didn't know any of that. Thank you. From a Pottawatomie Elder (Algonquin Peoples).

the first james town was in 1600, my family came 1640
The Jamestown colonist fished for sturgeon that were large fish, the record in 1827, 34 ft, at 3463 lbs as a primary source of protein. In addition they planted corn and vegetables. A drought in the early 1600s changed the salinity of the bay's water and the sturgeon left the area. Several ships arrived with additional colonist during this period but they had little food left after the crossing. The colonist ask the Powhatan's for food, but they had none to spare. The colonist resorted to cannibalism, during the winter of 1609 -1610, and an indentured servant was butchered, assuming it was after she died, for food. Relief ships arrived in 1610 and the colony expanded. A must, visit Jamestown Fort site, its owned by a foundation, informative and educational. The Park Service has the area where the town stood and foundations of old house, a nice walk but.......... Note, Indentured servants were the first form of slavery by the colonist.
This commentary is very amusing, it seems to try and paint the British in a negative light but at the same time it admits to the facts that dont support this negativity. For example, the British steal Pocahontas and dont return her but she chooses to stay, becomes Christian and the chief of the tribe approves of this... er. "The Indian experience of the Rowanoake settlers was far from pleasant because.... the Spanish.... er. LOL please, if you want to slag us off then do better than this or if you want to tell it like we know it then try to avoid the forced negativity.
Anyway its 2022 so what should I expect.
Well I mean I’m sure the kidnapping itself wasn’t very pleasant.
Also it literally talks about how the marriage between her and Rolfe was a political alliance to achieve peace. Nothing new here.
Also Pocahontas was her own woman with a brain, even if getting kidnapped wasn’t fun there were worse fates for a woman in her time so it also isn’t that out of the ordinary that she would choose to stay. There are LOTS of examples of that in history. Doesn’t really give insight into whether or not the English should be viewed in a “negative light,” especially considering that this video actually omits most of the wrongs committed by the English against the Powhatan.
I am proud of my black and Powhatan Indian heritage very proud. My family integrated with black and identified as black on everything because they didn’t want to be sent to any reservations or harmed. I am from coastal plain, tidewater Virginia. Which is where the Powhatans were located, and I have Pamunkey in my family. (As well as other tribes)
I'm white.. my 11th great grandma is Pocahontas and I am a dependent of her only child kaokee .. Pocahontas and kocoum had kaokee .. DNA is amazing
You won’t hear about this history in school anymore. Doesn’t fit the narrative. Awesome channel.
Are you still in school?
@@thersten college
What narrative?
The narrative where the natives killed all the whites and took the white man's land obviously. All English did was defend themselves, just like Germany defended itself against Europe in WWII.
@@amatmc8319 The Rousseau "noble savage" narrative of first people's living in peace and harmony until europeans showed up.
How is it that people get shook upset or embarrassed by history??? I've never understood...there's ALOT of sad horrific stuff...that none of us had anything to with positive or negative...it baffles me
"A lot" is two words, thank you.
In wh at countfy???
Lol Noone is shook or embarrassed. The problem is minority groups and liberal whites try to overemphasize many of these events in an attempt to make the United States look bad. White liberals do it to make themselves feel better and like they are part of something "important ", while minority groups do it because they are bitter at the overall success of the United states, a country of mostly whites descending from western European society.
Yes please I would be really interested. 🙃
Great video, keep it up
My 11th Great Grandfather was Chief Powhatan's Half Brother.
Hiteto my Algonquin cousin!
Hey cousin! 👋🏾
My great uncle John Hooks, Bennett plantation, 18 years old Suffolk England, killed.. He was a servant working His way to the new world..
Powhatan sounds like any other mafia gangster.
If he was European off the boat he would be a hero.
I’m a descendant of Hokoleskwa (Cornstalk) Chief of the Shawnee Nation and Wahunsenacah (Powhatan, father of Pocahontas) Paramount Chief of The Tsenacommacah, an alliance of Alonquian peoples.
Powhatan is a quite strong person.
I suspect "Henricus" was pronounced "Hen-RYE-cus" (instead of "HEN-rick-us"), like modern Henrico County is pronounced "Hen-RYE-co".
Any local Virginians here know if this is true?
My 1st ancestor in this country arrived in Maryland in 1621. He then relocated to Jamestown just in time for the 1622 massacre.
Were you in time for the massacre in Nashville yesterday?
He must have been on the ship Fortune with my Briggs ancestor who stayed in Plymouth.
I'm very knowledgeable about the plains Indians but know nothing about the Eastern tribes..This was very interesting and eye opening.
Same here when I left for college. PNW natives on up to Alaska are CRAZY different. I was like, "where are their totems?" Haha but I've been catching up too.
On my Fathers side I am
Pamunkey-Powhatan and my
GGGG-Grandfather was the Great War chief Opechancanough .The government tried to Kill my Powhatan grandfather for 90+years! The Gov. poisoned him and in the end when he was old(over 90) and blind the government shot him in the spine. Poor Matoaka,she was indeed held as a political prisoner,we paid their ransom and and in the end-we never got her body back :( a very early #MMIW
You are a cousin of mine then. I really wish we could bring Matoaka back to where she belongs. Laid to rest at the end of Ginny rd. Where Powhatan chieftain has been located. I walk the property. I was gifted a whole turtle sell I found while kneeling down on the beach there. 🙏🏼
It's amazing that we colonised the Americas at all...
welcoming strangers to your land?
bad idea
