Virginia Indians: Meet the Tribes

the young narrator was better than most folks . Kid has a nice flowing way of speaking.

I am of the Chickahominy Tribe of Virginia. This was so well put together and so easily explained so understandable  to teach others.I have so many people who not understand what the Powhatan Federation is and this expalins it all in a turtles shell..:)

I'm patawomeck my father got me enrolled in 2014 and died the same year I'm so glad he done that for me....I would've never known where I came from! My grandfather left his life in Fredericksburg VA when he was 16 and settled in TN where I was born. I would love to go see my tribe one day

Lived in Natural Bridge Va. spend many happy weekends with my husband at pow pows.the natural people are so kind. Was invited the the fall festive also. Well done video loved it

we are still here!!! #Powhatan#Blackfoot

Wow what a educated young man. Great job..taught me... THANK YOU

Great video to use as an educator of Virginia Studies.  Both teacher and students know so little about this topic in the curriculum.  Thank you for creating and sharing this video!

Learning about Native Americans can be so intimidating at first - so many tribes, languages, cultures, sub groups, related groups, etc.  There is so much information that how it is organized is important.  The information in this video was very well laid out and I really learned a lot.  Very well done!

Very informative. Thank you.

Don't forget about the Shawnee, they once lived in the Shenandoah River located in the blue ridge mountains!

I am 5th Generation Pamunkey, a descendant of Kathryn Brown on my Mothers side. My Mother was Gladys Seward. I am 3rd Generation Cherokee on my Daddy's side thru His Mother. And we have every reason to believe we are Monacan thru my Grandfather who by birth was a Johnson. I'm proud of all I am and walk between the 2 worlds.

Thank You 👍☀️👍

"You Mean There Are Native Americans Alive In Virginia"?!!! Lmao at the Terrible Truth of Public School Education

Google Walter Plecker. The Virginia's first registrar who was also a racist of his time. Also a lot of tribal nations in the East Coast married out and adoptions was extremely common plus tribes would take children and raise them up as members of that tribe. I am descended from the Nansemond nation. The last full blood of the Nansemond nation died in 1802. I'm willing to wager that virtually all the East Coast tribal nations have no full blooded members anymore. We were the first to be invaded by the Europeans and the first to marry out of the tribes in order to survive and so on.

Cristian, I am an enrolled member of the Nottoway Tribe of VA and what you are seeing is the effect of survival. Most of our tribes intermarried with European and or African people as a course of survival in a Bi racial society as existed for quite a while in the state of VA. We do have native ancestors , however we are ancestral tribes not tribes based on blood quantum.

Good video very informal

Does anyone know if the Virginia tribes had Dawes Rolls commission?

Wow, excellent video explaining native Americans. I am Chickahominy Indian and the boy in this video is my third cousin (as In not my uncle or aunt's child) and my third uncle was the former chief. My family name is Cannada & in the early 1900's it was changed to Canaday which we go by, my other family are the Adkins and Stewarts.

The first Indian reservation in North America was in King William County Virginia. It was the result of the Treaty of 1646. It is just northwest where West Point is now located, ironically enough.

I descend from the Cheroenhaka Nottoway tribe on my dad's side.
