Idea: American Indians

While visiting Jamestown there is a lot of stuff related to American Indians and it made me think about how much a part of the history of this country and this state has been influenced or affected by American Indians. Therefore I want to start researching their History and Culture for things that might be relevant to my project.

Quotes:

1) "Formally organized Indian tribes ceased to exist on the Maryland Eastern shore in the late eighteenth century and in the Virginia sector in the early nineteenth century." ~Helen C. Rountree

2) "As Virginian Peter Fontaine reported in August 1763, warriors of the Upper Ohio Valley, Wabash Valley, and Great Lakes nations "entered into a combination against us, resolved it seems to prevent our settling any farther than we have, viz., much about the main Blue Ridge of mountains." ~ Woody Holton
