The Chowanoke Nation was the largest of the Algonquian nations in North Carolina. The English encountered them in 1586-one year before the arrival of the Lost Colony and 21 years before the settlement of Jamestown. The Chowan Discovery Group’s Marvin Tupper Jones, a Chowanoke descendant, presents an image-filled story of a people who endured North Carolina’s first colonial war, fought for freedoms in the Civil War, and remain a part of its original area.

Hi. Great video. I wish I could go back in my family as far as you have in yours. I just have a question, forgive me if it was addressed and I missed it. What does it mean when you say Chowanoke/mixed race? What were the races? As you may or may not know, there's a big movement going on that says that the "black" people are the original Indians/Native Americans. With respect to your video and family, would you say that the race of the Indians, in this case Chowanoke, were of how most of us have been taught? Thanks

The way religion was able to get away with forcing the indigenous to change their ways to helping them get civil rights is one of the best psychological strategies in history. The caused the destruction and then were the good guys. Mass manipulation.
