This book goes into detail about what the Powhatan Indians were like starting from before the English ever arrived and settled Jamestown in 1607 and goes all the way to the 21st century. It is an educational as well as interesting read.

It is a fascinating and well researched book that, while scholarly in nature can be read and enjoyed by a more general reader as well. It has loads of information about the people that loved in Virginia before the English and what life was like for them. I especially enjoyed the current information about the tribes in Virginia as it is important that people realize these people are still here.

I would very highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in Virginia Indian history, both past and present.
