Unbelievable

I find it rather interesting that Indians once lived in our tiny area of Stafford. I really like how they called them the Patawomecks. I think that it’s awesome that some of us could be living on historical land. I have to agree with Christine that I have never heard of Native Americans living in Stafford. I remember we learned in the 4th grade about Native Americans but we never talked about how they lived in this very area. I never knew that there were actual tribes. I guess I have just been lost all my life. It honestly blows my mind! I am just overwhelmed with all this new information that I am learning about Virginia. Thank you Mr. G for making me smarter!
P.S. We should watch Pocahontas….

I agree with Stephanie, I've never heard of the Patawomeck tribe before and I'm glad I had a chance to read this article cause it brings up a lot of new information...I also think we should watch Pocahontas in class that way we can discuss in depth the importance of Indains in colonist's settlement of Jamestown.
