    Contact era member tribes,  territories, their native American  enemies, and  the culture,  dress and homes of this people are discussed in its topic pages provided at the Gateway and Table of Contents page. Other pages are dedicated to two post contact chiefs, and the  post contact military history of the nation.  The Powhatan people were well known to many of the surnames studied in the  Howard and Allied Lines  ,  just as they were well known to  all settlers of Jamestown and its outlaying settlements . 

    The Powhatan were  intimately involved in the Jamestown  colony's life and experience, as were their two great chiefs, half brothers, both great advocates for their people with widely differing styles of leadership. The pages address the Powhatan's role in the survival of England's first permanent settlement in America,  their leaders & military actions against interlopers, their fate within Virginia history while providing links to some of the ancestors studied in these pages whose own experiences strongly intertwined with the Powhatan of Virginia.
