Virginia Indians: Meet the Tribes

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

we are still here!!! #Powhatan#Blackfoot

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

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.

European Indians what an interesting contradiction. Chief Powhatan was described as what would be called Aftic a n American today. The stature in the Virginia Historical Society is of Chief Powhatan.. The statue looks Black. These Europeans are not Indians by traditional definition and definitely by lineal descent. This is identity fraud.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

I don't know who these individuals are but they are NOT INDIGENOUS/AMERICAN ABORIGINE. #Isee5DollarIndians

We have a lot of imposters in this country!

I seen A lot of Pilgrims in this " Tribe"

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!

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!

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

That really reminds me of me, I'm from Virginia ( Woodbridge, born in Fairfax county) and I know how it is being in an all white Community School and not seen that many people that look mix like I do I often see people that are fully white,Black, Spanish, etc, when I go to clean County Schools, but then when I go to schools like in Baltimore or so I see more kids that look like me more kids that look mix and have hair like me a little and I don't feel like I'm treated weird!

Native Americans not Indians...

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