The #SecondAngloPowhatanWar (aka #PowhatanUprising) was a brutal decade-long fight between the #Jamestown colony and its #Indigenous neighbour the #PowhatanConfederacy. It began #ThisDayInHistory in 1622 with the massacre of 350 English settlers who were destroying their lands.

Antidote to current events: my mom and stepdad wrote a book in 2009 about my stepdad's tribe, the #Chickahominy Indians (Eastern Division). Proceeds go to the tribe. #VirginiaIndians #ethnohistory #PowhatanConfederacy #Pocahontas
