A tribe's tale Jamestown celebration shines new light on Patawomecks

The history of the Patawomecks was interesting. I didn't know that there were Indian tribes living off reservations. I think it's great that these people are reconnecting with their history. I didn't know there were so many tribes in this area during colonial times. I thought there was basically just the Powhatan tribe and that was it.
Although the article was interesting, after reading it, I got kind of angry. Time and time again we hear how badly the settlers treated the indian tribes. The Patawomecks allied with the English to fight the Powhatans. A few years down the road we make war with our allies and enslave their women and children. It really makes me dissapointed in the colonists and ashamed of how our country began. And even now, we're still treating the Native Americans badly. We force many to live on reservations while Green and his tribe can't get recognition by the government. We also dig up graves to put in museums.
The Patawomeck descendants deserve recognition as a tribe and we as a nation need to realize how badly we treated the Native Americans and start making things right.
