The Powhatan tribe, originally a powerful confederation of Algonquian-speaking tribes in Virginia, faced significant decline following the arrival of English settlers in the early 1600s. Conflicts such as the Anglo-Powhatan Wars, along with disease, displacement, and loss of territory, drastically reduced their population and influence. By the late 17th century, many Powhatan people had been absorbed into colonial society or forced to relocate. Today, descendants of the Powhatan people are recognized as part of several tribes, including the Pamunkey and Mattaponi, and continue to preserve their cultural heritage.
