In 2002, Virginia’s Indian tribal leaders were interviewed for this video, a result of a two-year oral history project. The information they impart speaks for the ages by tracing their own history including the persistence of Virginia Indian identity and culture 400 years after the European settlement of their lands.  A visual historic overview sets the stage for the interviews.  Tribes: Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Upper Mattaponi, Monacan, Nansemond, Pamunkey, and Rappahannock.
