Southern Anthropological Society James Mooney Award. As Native
American history is primarily studied through the lens of European
contact, the story of Virginia's Powhatans has traditionally
focused on the English arrival in the Chesapeake. This has left a
deeper indigenous history largely unexplored--a longer narrative
beginning with the Algonquians' construction of places,
communities, and the connections in between. 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. Ceremonial
spaces, including earthwork enclosures within the center place of
Werowocomoco, gathered people for centuries prior to 1607. 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 previously denied their existence. A volume in
the series Society and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology,
edited by Victor D. Thompson.
