Response to Patawomeck Article
This post is almost a repeat of what I commented on the article earlier, so here it is:
The Patawomeck tribe lived in Stafford? Wow, I didn't know such an important tribe lived near here. The Patawomeck did help Jamestown by giving them food dispite the fact that they had their own harsh conditions. I agree with the article that the U.S. may have not been as it is today had the Patawomeck tribe. They, in a sense, had "saved" the potential America culture as we come to know it. It is essential to know that racial and cultural boundaries of the past did keep this knowledge unearthed until most recently. Still, it would be nice if the government would take more notice to this tribe and actually put more information on the Patawomeck Tribe. Overall, This was a good read and I hope to read more articles that uncovers more of our unknown history.

I agree that the Patawomeck tribe helped in the settlement of Virginia, however I disagree with the statement "They, in a sense, had "saved" the potential America culture as we come to know it". What if the patawomeck tribe didn't assist the Virginia settlers, and John Smith and the other settlers died off? I believe England would have kept sending ships of colonists to settle Virginia until they finally succeeded in setting up a lasting colony.
