| Sumario: | Explores experiences and strategies of tidewater Virginia Indians, descendants of peoples of the seventeenth-century Algonquian Powhatan chiefdom, in maintaining, creating, and re-creating their identities as Native Americans from the 1850s through the 'Jim Crow' era. Examines how tidewater Native individuals, families, and communities positioned themselves as Indigenous Peoples, rather than Black or white, in an era when some white Virginians argued that Virginia's Indians were 'mulattoes' and 'colored people.' |
