This article was very interesting to me. I never really knew the history/culture of Stafford County, besides the basics. The Patawomecks, a tribe based in Stafford County, were linked to Pocahontas, who helped save Jamestown. I find it interesting that the Patawomecks aren't a well-known tribe, especially due to their significance with American History.It is fascinating to hear that a tribe that tremendously affected the development of Jamestown, leading to the development of our country, is still seeking out federal recognition. Very interesting!

I agree with you because American history has so many different nooks and crannies that feel virtually undiscovered. Especially since we've been living in this area, you think we would know the great importance it had in saving the colony of Jamestown. Fascinating, indeed.
I agree that is amazing I love learning about history in Stafford county. And I dumbfounded because I had never heard of this tribe before. Which is fascinating see how they played such an important role in the Jamestown settlement's existence.
Yes, it's pretty surprising how the Patawomecks are seeking federal, and in even some cases, state, recognition when they should have been recognized a while back. Their contribution to America made what America is today. And now with what's been revealed, we can now say that Stafford was once occupied with Native Americans who helped build America.
It is weird how the Patawomecks aren't well-known, even though they did aid to the development of Jamestown. It makes you wonder, where would Jamestown have been if it wasn't for them and other Indians? This tribe definitely needs federal recognition.
Yes, it is fascinating to hear that the Patawomecks are still seeking federal recognition although they were a leader in developing Jamestown. I find it wrong and unjust. Without them we may not have survived, and now they have been oppressed over the years because of shelfish Americans. It is interesting.
I never knew all this history of Stafford either. It was really interesting to know that Stafford County was the home of the Patawomecks. I agree, it is quite puzzling that they are not able to seek federal recognition.
I agree, Mary Claire,it is fascinating that the Patawomecks helped in the developement and sucess of Jamestown, but are still seeking federal or state recognition. It makes you wonder, what else that has happened in history that isn't mentioned or better yet been left out in our books?
