  • Defining the Greater York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape
    Defining the Greater York River Indigenous Cultural Landscape Prepared by: Scott M. Strickland Julia A. 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.

  • 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].

  • Contemporary Powhatan Art and Culture: Its Link with Tradition and Implications for the Future
    Contemporary Powhatan Art and Culture: Its Link with Tradition and Implications for the Future PHOEBE DUFRENE Purdue University Historical Background Powhatan Indians are the indigenous Algonquian-speaking peoples of what is now called the Chesapeake Bay, an inlet of the Middle Atlantic coast in present day Virginia and Maryland. Powhatans have an unbroken history of thousands of years of settlement along the coastal areas of the mid- Atlantic. About 3,000 years ago Algonquians lived in the region north of the Great Lakes. From there they spread west, east, and south. Various groups migrated southward along the Atlantic coast. By the end of the 15th century, the Algonquians had spread from the Rocky Mountains of present- day Alberta in the northwest, to Labrador in the northeast, and south to Cape Lookout in present-day North Carolina (Feest 1990). The approximately 30 Indian groups now known as the Powhatan tribes were originally joined by their languages and their common location in present-day Maryland, Virginia, and the North Carolina border. At the end of the 1500s these people were united into a political confederacy by Powhatan, a paramount chief of several of the tribes. In 1646 the Powhatan Indians signed the oldest treaty written in Turtle Island (= North America) between the English and the indigenous people. Out of the approximately 30 tribes affiliated militarily or politically with the Powhatan confederacy in the 1600s, seven survived and are flourishing today. Surviving tribes include the Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Nansemond, Pamunkey, Rappahannock, and Upper Mattaponi. Against many odds the Renape (human beings) survived.
