Patawomecks Article

Like everyone else, I found this article interesting. Credit is given where credit is due, so I'm glad the Patawomecks are finally receiving theirs after history portrayed the Powahatans as the tribe that kept Jamestown afloat. I also must agree with Green's comment that America would not be what it is today without the Patawomecks because of the fact that Pocahontas' mother was a Patawomeck. Pocahontas needs no introduction as we all know the roll she played in America's history. As far as Green's tribe recognition, I wish him the best of luck and I believe the remaining Patawomecks deserve both their artifacts and remnants as well as their recognition.

I also found it interesting about how the Patawomeck and others called themselves whites and basically giving up their heritage so they wouldn't be subjected to the cruelty and label of "coloreds". I do applaud the descendants of the original Patawomecks for coming together to keep their tribe alive and for taking the initiative to learn and continue the legacy.
