Amazing Article

First of all, I am so shocked that Stafford County was actually linked to Pocahontas. This article really opened my eyes to the history of Stafford. The potomac was a trading point, which was the Indians source of economy. I have lived in Quantico/Stafford almost my whole life, and I never realized that I was in the center of one of the areas that founded America. Without the Indians help the settlers would not have been able to survive and go on to establish our great country. Green is quite interesting, I cannot believe he has waited so long to express his native heritage. However, it has been a blessing to the other Indians in this area because now they are able to come together and learn even more about their ancestors. I think it is quite sad that the Smithsonian is not helpful in cooperating with Green and others in handing over the bones and other artifacts. Those things are sacred. I agree with Green when he said, "If not for the Patawomecks, we would not have the country we have today. We have something to be proud of." Green was on point, they definately have something to be proud of.
