Interesting Article!

It is very interesting that we are now living in areas that Indians use to live. After reading the article I would like to meet this Robert Green. The Patawomecks is such a cool name. It is quite interesting that the museum is very protective over the artifacts and will not give them back to the tribe. They should realize that they belong to the Indians and the know what to do with them. I am pleased to hear that the have founded a Patawomeck Band Memorial Park for them. As stated in the article Virginia would not be the way it is know if is was not for Indians. The Indians could of not helped the settlers and they could of all died and we would not even be here or our generation could be the ones who are discovering the Americans. Learning new things everyday is great!

Janice-yea totally agree with that museum thing! I can't believe that they won't give back the artifacts, after all, if it wasn't for the indians, these white men that own the museum wouldn't have a job? Want to know why? Because without the help of the indians, Europeans would have died. Good summary!

Dear J.J.,
I don't understand why the museum won't judt give the artifacts back. I guess they just have their ways. I agree with everybody else without the Indians we would have all died and where would we be today? Think about that...

It is interesting that we are now living on thier soil. Without them we probably wouldn't be living here. And now, they have to go through long processes to be recognized. Is that fair? They should be able to get thier artifacts back without interference. But, I am also pleased that they have a Patawomech Band Memorial Park.
