Hunting and Gathering Clues to Piece Together the History of Chesapeake Bay Indians by Dotty Holcomb Doherty

excerpt:

A hunter and gatherer in her own right, Rountree has dedicated 40 years searching for clues to piece together the cultural history of Chesapeake Bay Indians. Her specialty is the Algonquian-speaking Indians of Virginia, known collectively as the Powhatan, the people who met the English when they arrived in Jamestown 400 years ago and whose ancestors thrive today.
