Actual letter by Walter Plecker, attacking Virginia’s indigenous population. (1943)
The #Mattaponi and #Pamunkey in #Richmond, Virginia. These two tribes continue to make their yearly tribute payment to the Virginia governor, as stipulated by the 1646 and 1677 treaties. Every year around Thanksgiving they hold a ceremony to pay the annual tribute of game, usually a deer, and pottery or a “peace pipe.”
N.A.R.M. Update
We will be having a meeting in the next two weeks to discuss and plan our rally for the Federal Recognition of the tribes of Virginia. How is it that the people who helped at Jamestown and kept the IMMIGRANTS alive still have not been recognized by the US government? Ancestry. Paperwork. Some blame other tribes. We do know one thing though. The public is less than aware of the fact that Pocahontas’* own people are not recognized by the US.
HELP US DRAW INTER-NATIONAL ATTENTION TO THIS TRAVESTY!!!
