Download or read book Powhatan s World and Colonial Virginia written by Frederic W. Gleach and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2000-04-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Frederic W. Gleach offers the most balanced and complete accounting of the early years of the Jamestown colony to date. When English colonists established their first permanent settlement at Jamestown in 1607, they confronted a powerful and growing Native chiefdom consisting of over thirty tribes under one paramount chief, Powhatan. For the next half-century, a portion of the Middle Atlantic coastal plain became a charged and often violent meeting ground between two very different worlds.
Download or read book The Powhatan Landscape written by Martin D. Gallivan and published by University Press of Florida. This book was released on 2018-09-17 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Southern Anthropological Society James Mooney Award As Native American history is primarily studied through the lens of European contact, the story of Virginia's Powhatans has traditionally focused on the English arrival in the Chesapeake. This has left a deeper indigenous history largely unexplored--a longer narrative beginning with the Algonquians' construction of places, communities, and the connections in between. The Powhatan Landscape breaks new ground by tracing Native placemaking in the Chesapeake from the Algonquian arrival to the Powhatan's clashes with the English. Martin Gallivan details how Virginia Algonquians constructed riverine communities alongside fishing grounds and collective burials and later within horticultural towns. Ceremonial spaces, including earthwork enclosures within the center place of Werowocomoco, gathered people for centuries prior to 1607. Even after the violent ruptures of the colonial era, Native people returned to riverine towns for pilgrimages commemorating the enduring power of place. For today's American Indian communities in the Chesapeake, this reexamination of landscape and history represents a powerful basis from which to contest narratives and policies that have previously denied their existence.

Download or read book Virginia Place Names written by Raus McDill Hanson and published by . This book was released on 1969 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Virginia county, river, mountain range and town share the same name--a name which means "Daughter of the Stars"? Any age group can easily find some surprises, and some humorous historical examples where the local residents had difficulties in agreeing on the name chosen. So the "mail can go through", post offices must have distinct names but geographical place names, which show much less originality and even a bit over-used, are rather frequent. The organization of the book into county areas and the largest independent cities, together with its index were planned to make it a ready reference. Adults will find the book has helpful and concise information for many places, a great amount of history as well as geography. The included information for many places make the book rank as a Virginia encyclopedia. -- Front book flap.

Download or read book Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma written by Camilla Townsend and published by Macmillan + ORM. This book was released on 2005-09-07 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camilla Townsend's stunning new book, Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma, differs from all previous biographies of Pocahontas in capturing how similar seventeenth century Native Americans were--in the way they saw, understood, and struggled to control their world---not only to the invading British but to ourselves. Neither naïve nor innocent, Indians like Pocahontas and her father, the powerful king Powhatan, confronted the vast might of the English with sophistication, diplomacy, and violence. Indeed, Pocahontas's life is a testament to the subtle intelligence that Native Americans, always aware of their material disadvantages, brought against the military power of the colonizing English. Resistance, espionage, collaboration, deception: Pocahontas's life is here shown as a road map to Native American strategies of defiance exercised in the face of overwhelming odds and in the hope for a semblance of independence worth the name. Townsend's Pocahontas emerges--as a young child on the banks of the Chesapeake, an influential noblewoman visiting a struggling Jamestown, an English gentlewoman in London--for the first time in three-dimensions; allowing us to see and sympathize with her people as never before.
