Native American history is primarily studied through the lens of
European contact, and the story of Virginia's Powhatans
traditionally focuses on the English arrival in the Chesapeake.
Meanwhile, a deeper indigenous history remains largely unexplored.
The Powhatan Landscape breaks new ground by tracing Native
placemaking in the Chesapeake from the Algonquian arrival to the
Powhatan's clashes with the English. Martin Gallivan details how
Virginia Algonquians constructed riverine communities alongside
fishing grounds and collective burials and later within
horticultural towns. Even after the violent ruptures of the
colonial era, Native people returned to riverine towns for
pilgrimages commemorating the enduring power of place. For today's
American Indian communities in the Chesapeake, this reexamination
of landscape and history represents a powerful basis from which to
contest narratives and policies that have denied their existence.
