History of the Pamunkey Tribe
excerpt:
The history of the Pamunkey Tribe has been recorded by archaeologist, anthropologist and historians and dates back ten to twelve thousand years. The actual legal status by the white man's criteria does not come into being until the 1646 and 1677 treaties with the King of England. The two major treaties with the Pamunkey established articles of peace and a land base for the Tribe, later referred to as a reservation. This reservation exists today.
