  • Manteo's World: Native American Life in Carolina's Sound Country before and after the Lost Colony

    Helen C Rountree, Taukchiray Wesley DBOOKManteo's World2021

    Roanoke. Manteo. Wanchese. Chicamacomico. These place names along today's Outer Banks are a testament to the Indigenous communities that thrived for generations along the Carolina coast. Though most sources for understanding these communities were written by European settlers who began to arrive in the late sixteenth century, those sources nevertheless offer a fascinating record of the region's Algonquian-speaking people. Here, drawing on decades…

  • Pocahontas, Powhatan, Opechancanough: Three Indian Lives Changed by Jamestown

    Camilla Townsend, Helen C Rountree et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History2007Cited by: 3

    Pocahontas may be the most famous Native American who ever lived, but during the settlement of Jamestown, and for two centuries afterward, the great chiefs Powhatan and Opechancanough were the subjects of considerably more interest and historical documentation than the young woman. It was Opechancanough who captured the foreign captain Chawnzmit -- John Smith. Smith gave Opechancanough a compass, described to him a spherical earth that revolved a…

  • Powhatan Indian Women: The People Captain John Smith Barely Saw

    Helen C RountreeARTICLEEthnohistory1998Cited by: 7

    Most of the eyewitness accounts about Powhatan Indians concern the men's world. This essay attempts to compensate for the imbalance by adding the evidence available from ethnographic analogy from other Woodland Indian cultures, reconstructive ethnobotany in the Chesapeake region, and living history as practiced at the Jamestown Settlement Museum's Indian Village. The women emerge as tough, energetic, sociable people who scheduled their work caref…

    Helen C RountreeARTICLEThe American Indian Quarterly1992Cited by: 1References: 5

    T HE POWHATAN INDIANS AND THE ENGLISH of the early seventeenth century had very different views of the world around them, divergent beliefs about what deities existed, and opposite opinions about whether orthodoxy was desirable. As ill luck would have it, the lives of both peoples were permeated by these differing religions. The result was a constant intellectual misunderstanding between the two peoples, which led them even more willingly to form…
