Did Virginia ever have native Americans living in it?
The main tribes living in the area were the Powhatan. Other tribes included the Cherokee, Chickahominy, Chesapeake, Nottoway, Pocomoke, and Shawnee. Right now there are 8 tribes in Virginia. The Mattaponi, The Upper Mattaponi, The Monacan, The Chickahomny, the Eastern Chickahomny, The Rappahanock, The Pamunkey and The Nsamond. My spelling might be off but those are the tribes in Virginia and of those tribes two have reservations, The Mattaponi and The Pamunkey.
What tribe was Pocahantas from?
No one knows what tribe Pocahontas belonged to. Nearly every Powhatan tribe has claimed to be the tribe of Pocahontas at one point or another. Currently, two tribes, the Mattaponi and the Patawomeck claim to be the tribe of Pocahontas through her mother. Numerous Powhatan tribes are now extinct and can no longer claim the honor. When the existing Powhatan tribes get together to write about their common history (example: We're Still Here: Contemporary Virginia Indians Tell Their Stories (2000, 2001, 2006) they never state which tribe is the tribe of Pocahontas's mother because they do not agree on this. The True Story of Pocahontas (which a previous poster here used as a source) has numerous errors and its authors have serious credibility issues. It should not be used as an authoritative source. Pocahontas may have been Mattaponi, but we'll never know.
