Life of the Powhatan (Native Nations of North America)
by Rebecca Sjonger
very detailed resource suppliment to a 5th grade social studies classroom. Wow, there was so much information about the culture, and the interactions between settlers and the tribes of the swamp land. The history of Powhatan town, and the people that are associated with it.
