The Powhatan chiefdom was a political and social organization of various Algonquian-speaking tribes in Virginia, led by Chief Powhatan in the early 17th century. It encompassed around 30 tribes and played a crucial role during the early interactions with English settlers, particularly at Jamestown in 1607. The chiefdom was characterized by a complex system of alliances and trade networks, but it ultimately faced significant challenges due to European colonization and conflict. Chief Powhatan's authority waned after his death in 1618, leading to further fragmentation of the chiefdom.
