King Martha McCartney with contributions from: The Pamunkey Indian Tribe The Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe The Mattaponi Indian Tribe Prepared for: The National Park Service Chesapeake Bay & Colonial National Historical Park The Chesapeake Conservancy Annapolis, Maryland The Pamunkey Indian Tribe Pamunkey Reservation, King William, Virginia The Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe Adamstown, King William, Virginia The Mattaponi Indian Tribe Mattaponi Reservation, King William, Virginia St. Mary’s College of Maryland St. Mary’s City, Maryland October 2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As part of its management of the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, the National Park Service (NPS) commissioned this project in an effort to identify and represent the York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape. The work was undertaken by St. Mary’s College of Maryland in close coordination with NPS. The Indigenous Cultural Landscape (ICL) concept represents “the context of the American Indian peoples in the Chesapeake Bay and their interaction with the landscape.” Identifying ICLs is important for raising public awareness about the many tribal communities that have lived in the Chesapeake Bay region for thousands of years and continue to live in their ancestral homeland. ICLs are important for land conservation, public access to, and preservation of the Chesapeake Bay. The three tribes, including the state- and Federally-recognized Pamunkey and Upper Mattaponi tribes and the state-recognized Mattaponi tribe, who are today centered in their ancestral homeland in the Pamunkey and Mattaponi river watersheds, were engaged as part of this project. The Pamunkey and Upper Mattaponi tribes participated in meetings and driving tours.

ABSTRACT SEVENTEENTH CENTURY SETTLEMENT OF THE NANSEMOND RIVER IN VIRGINIA Emmett Edward Bottoms Old Dominion University, 1983 Director: Dr. Peter C. Stewart The estuarine Nansemond River in southeastern Virginia provided exploitable resources to Indians and English colonists during the seventeenth century. Coloni­ zation of the Nansemond, attempted in 1609, was resisted by the Nansemond Indians and was accomplished only after they were decimated and displaced. Anglicans and dissenting Puritans and Quakers established churches and meeting houses along the river.

  • Living with the Indians Introduction
    LIVING WITH THE INDIANS Introduction Archaeologists believe the American Indians were the first people to arrive in North America, perhaps having migrated from Asia more than 16,000 years ago. During this Paleo time period, these Indians rapidly spread throughout America and were the first people to live in Virginia. During the Woodland period, which began around 1200 B.C., Indian culture reached its high- est level of complexity. By the late 16th century, Indian people in Coastal Plain Virginia, united under the leadership of Wahunsonacock, had organized themselves into approximately 32 tribes. Wahunsonacock was the paramount or supreme chief, having held the title “Powhatan.” Not a personal name, the Powhatan title was used by English settlers to identify both the leader of the tribes and the people of the paramount chiefdom he ruled. Although the Powhatan people lived in separate towns and tribes, each led by its own chief, their language, social structure, religious beliefs and cultural traditions were shared. By the time the first English settlers set foot in “Tsena- commacah, or “densely inhabited land,” the Powhatan Indians had developed a complex culture with a centralized political system. Living With the Indians is a story of the Powhatan people who lived in early 17th-century Virginia— their social, political, economic structures and everyday life ways. It is the story of individuals, cultural interactions, events and consequences that frequently challenged the survival of the Pow- hatan people. It is the story of how a unique culture, through strong kinship networks and tradition, has endured and maintained tribal identities in Virginia right up to the present day.

  • The Pamunkey Indian Reservation
    water Article The Role of Traditional Knowledge in Coastal Adaptation Priorities: The Pamunkey Indian Reservation Nicole S. Hutton * and Thomas R. Allen Department of Political Science and Geography, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA 23529, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-757-683-3854 Received: 24 November 2020; Accepted: 15 December 2020; Published: 17 December 2020 Abstract: Coastal reservations are increasingly vulnerable to hazards exacerbated by climate change. Resources for restoration projects are limited. Storm surge, storms, tidal flooding, and erosion endanger artifacts and limit livelihoods of tribes in coastal Virginia. GIS offers a platform to increase communication between scientists, planners, and indigenous groups. The Pamunkey Indian Tribe engaged in a participatory mapping exercise to assess the role of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) in coastal management decision-making and its capacity to address flooding. Priorities and strategies were spatially referenced using maps of potential sea level rise for 2040, 2060, and 2080, input into a resilience matrix to identify benchmarks for each phase of disaster resilience building, and contextualized with oral histories. Results highlight increased immediacy to protect housing and heritage sites along the shoreline as well as maintain access to the Reservation. Preferences toward structural solutions guided by and facilitating TEK options were expressed. Additional community capacities, tribal council support, federal assistance, impact assessments, and coordination would facilitate risk reduction project implementation. The screening process integrates TEK with planning and is transferable to neighboring tribes. Keywords: traditional ecological knowledge; sea level rise; shoreline management; erosion; coastal hazards 1. Introduction Coastal, estuarine, and intertidal flooding and consequently the risk posed to coastal populations are exacerbated by climate change and development worldwide [1–4].

  • 1994 Field Report
    FIELD REPORT 1994 Nicholas M. Luccketti William M. Kelso Beverly A. Straube May 1994 Jamestown, Virginia 1 ABSTRACT In 1994, the Association for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities launched Jamestown Rediscovery, a plan of extended archaeological research. The first phase of Jamestown Rediscov- ery seeks to locate and investigate the site of the first settlement and fort at Jamestown. The 1994 field season consisited of the excavation of a forty-foot square southeast of the Confederate Fort between Jamestown Memorial Church and the seawall along the James River. The excavation discovered that beneath the plowzone were intact features, including a slot trench for a palisade, a roundish pit approximately 12’ in diameter and 5.5’ deep, part of a rectangu- lar pit at least 13’ long on one side, and a deep, wide ditch. The artifact assemblage indicates that the slot trench and round pit date to the first years of settlement at Jamestown, possibly as early as c. 1610. The wide ditch backfill dates to the mid-seventeenth century, while the date of the rectan- gular pit has yet to be determined. Over 30,000 artifacts have been recovered during the first year of excavation, including an intact cabasset. The assemblage also contains evidence of glassmaking and copper bead manufac- turing. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS page LIST OF ILLUSTRATIONS 4 INTRODUCTION 5 HISTORIC CONTEXT 7 RESEARCH DESIGN 10 A.

Indians have lived in what is now called Virginia for thousands of years. While we are still learning about the people who inhabited this land, it is clear that Virginia history did not begin in 1607. If you ask any Virginia Indian, "When did you come to this land?" he or she will tell you, "We have always been here." http://virginiaindians.pwnet.org/history/index.php 1 Virginia’s First People http://www.dhr.virginia.gov/arch_NET/timeline/late_wood_map.htm There were three major language families at the time of European contact in 1607: the Siouan, the Algonquian, and the Iroquoian. In the video, Keenan taught us that today, there are eleven different Virginia Indian tribes recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia. This activity book will give you the opportunity to compare Virginia’s first people from 1607 to Virginia’s first people today. You will also be able to compare your own life and traditions to those of a Virginia Indian child today. 2 Adaptations & Occupations: 1607 Directions: Draw and label pictures that show how Virginia’s first people adapted to their environment and what kinds of occupations they had in 1607.
