The Native Americans of Virginia: Life, Language, and Culture

Chris was confused about the Native Americans of Virginia, mistakenly calling them "Indians" due to his belief he had landed in the Indies. Archaeologists study ancient lifestyles, uncovering artifacts like arrowheads and pottery. Virginia's Indigenous peoples, known as Eastern Woodland Indians, belong to three language families: Iroquoian, Algonquian, and Siouan. These groups thrived in different regions such as Tidewater and Piedmont. Virginia's climate features distinct seasons, with food sources varying by season: hunting in winter, fishing in spring, growing crops in summer, and harvesting in fall.
