Before the 16th century, the Algonquian Native American lived in the vicinity of Virginia. They were the Mattaponi, Chickahominy, Pamunkey, and the Powhatan. These groups were brought together under the Powhatan Confederacy by persuasion or force by Chief Powhatan. The Powhatan lived in wigwams or longhouses. Their villages had walls built from logs surrounding them for safety. In addition, each village had a council house and a building for storing food. The culture of this people saw the traditional roles where women/girls farmed and cleaned the skins of animals the Powhatan men hunted, as well as took care of the home. The men also fished. One Powhatan Native American everyone is familiar with is Pocahontas, although the stories we know about her are not fully true. She did marry John Rolfe, an Englishman, producing a son named Thomas. This Eastern US Algonquian people are known for their beadwork and basket making skills. The language they spoke Virginia Algonquian, is not used today.
