{"product_id":"powhatan-landscape-1","title":"Powhatan Landscape","description":"Southern Anthropological Society James Mooney Award.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Native American history is primarily studied through the lens of European contact, the story of Virginia's Powhatans has traditionally focused on the English arrival in the Chesapeake. This has left a deeper indigenous history largely unexplored--a longer narrative beginning with the Algonquians' construction of places, communities, and the connections in between.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Powhatan Landscape\u003c\/em\u003e breaks new ground by tracing Native placemaking in the Chesapeake from the Algonquian arrival to the Powhatan's clashes with the English. Martin Gallivan details how Virginia Algonquians constructed riverine communities alongside fishing grounds and collective burials and later within horticultural towns. Ceremonial spaces, including earthwork enclosures within the center place of Werowocomoco, gathered people for centuries prior to 1607. Even after the violent ruptures of the colonial era, Native people returned to riverine towns for pilgrimages commemorating the enduring power of place.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor today's American Indian communities in the Chesapeake, this reexamination of landscape and history represents a powerful basis from which to contest narratives and policies that have previously denied their existence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA volume in the series \u003cem\u003eSociety and Ecology in Island and Coastal Archaeology\u003c\/em\u003e, edited by Victor D.
