Speaking of reparations....

With Trip to England, Va. Tribes Seek a Place in U.S. History

In the history books, there is the story of Pocahontas, the lovely Indian maiden who became a Christian, married an Englishman in Virginia and sailed away with him to England. Beyond that, there is little mention of the Virginia Indians who greeted the first settlers.

It is as if an entire Indian nation that had lived here for thousands of years had simply vanished.
