While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Powhatan (Southern Renape pawd'tan,
'falls in a current' of water.-Gerard). A
confederacy of Virginian Algonquian tribes.
Their territory included the tidewater
section of Virginia from the Potomac s. to
the divide between James river and Albemarle
sound, and extended into the interior as far
as the falls of the principal rivers about
Fredericksburg and Richmond. They also
occupied the Virginia counties east of
Chesapeake Bay and possibly included some
tribes in lower Maryland. In the piedmont
region west of them were the hostile Monacan
and Manahoac, while on the south were the
Chowanoc, Nottoway, and Meherrin of
Iroquoian stock.

As the United States expanded westward from the
original thirteen colonies, settlers often confronted the existing owners
of the land. As a result the federal government often negotiated treaties
with these Native Americans. This collection of official treaties was
compiled by the United States and originally printed in 1904. (Subscribers Only)
