Response to Patawomecks Article

I've never learned anything about the Patawomeck tribe, I didn't even know that they existed. I find it interesting that the Smithsonian Institution in Washington won't give back items that belong to the Patawomeck tribe just because they are not recognized by the government. I didn't know that the areas around and in Stafford had so much history. The most interesting fact I found in the article was that Jamestown could have completely died out if it weren't for the help of the Patawomecks. The country we have to today wouldn't be the same if it weren't for them. I can't believe that we are just learning about this tribe, I feel that we should've learned about the Patawomecks a long time ago.

I agree Jhasmine I never heard of the Patawomecks either. Amazing to me that we never knew about a tribe that lived in our area and that had such a big impact on the Jamestown settlement.
