Before We Were White

History


Between the founding of Jamestown in 1607, and the end of the Anglo-Powhatan Wars in 1644, there were a mere eight years of relative peace between the rightful inhabitants of "Tsenacomoco" and English colonisers. Those few years of peace were largely the result of one marriage between two people from utterly different worlds. The descendants of "Pocahontas" and John Rolfe are still here today, like seeds scattered before a whirlwind.
