The
Pamunkey Indians were the most powerful of the tribes in the great Powhatan
paramount chiefdom, which consisted of approximately 35 tribes with an
estimated population of 10,000 people under the leadership of Chief Powhatan.
His territory encompassed the entire coastal plain from south of the James
River to near Washington, DC. The chief was living among the Pamunkey when
the English colonists first arrived in Virginia. The tribe is exceedingly
proud of the lineage and enjoys telling how bravely their ancestors resisted
the encroachment of the white settlers. The Pamunkey enjoy the distinction
of being one of the tribes east of the Mississippi who have practiced the
art of pottery making continuously since aboriginal times. The tribe, of
approximately 100 persons, is located on the Pamunkey Indian Reservation
in King William County, near West Point, Virginia.
