Episode 1: The Past

In the first episode of our first series, we speak with Pamunkey Tribal Member Ashley Spivey to understand the historical context of the Tribe’s relationship with natural and cultural resources. We learn how the Tribe’s mutually beneficial relationship with these resources has helped them persevere before, during, and after colonization.

Correction: We state that prior to Powhatan coming to power the region lacked a centralized political entity. In fact, there was a centralized political entity that existed prior to Powhatan coming to power, it was just not as far reaching geographically as it became by 1607 when Powhatan had expanded his influence to approximately 30-32 tribes.
