Have Chief Powhatan's relations to the Powindah Tribe of Afghanistan and India ever been proven?
The Chera Empire of Asia and America are indeed related to the Po and Powhatans of America and the Panky groups, and probably The Cumba or Combahee Band of Cherokee, with likely links to Cambodia, Ankar Wat (Watts Cherokee or Old Watt), and Combs families of America, among others like the Asherock (Ashok) or Asher families and Asher Tribe of the Bible and America and India. Emperor Maytoy and the Mai Tai or Mao Tai families of Cherokee (Toya) have likely links to the Maylay and like groups, as well as Japan influences from the Yama or Yamasee (Binyamin). The world of preancient Asia is indeed linked to Cherokee Nation. - Martin Redbird, Redbird Band of Cherokee www.redbirdband.com - Jan. 2008

How do you make two timers learn their lessons?
Answer
Once a two timer always a two timer. Sadly, they just don't learn. I knew a woman who poured hot water on her husband while he slept, that still didn't deter him, so she took him to court and had the satisfaction of suing his pants off. She didn't scar him with the hot water, but she surely scared his wallet, that probably hurt him more than ten buckets of hot water.
Center of dispute between Powhatan and colonists?
The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.
