When English Colonists first set foot on a peninsula of the James River 416 years ago, there were an estimated 15,000 native Americans living in the region, and the colonists’ relationship with those natives would drive much of the subsequent history. The stories of their fates are an integral part of American history, even many years before anyone had heard of the “United States.” The story of the small tribe called the Wiccocomico deserves to be remembered.
