No, we really didn't. It resulted in only the Pamunkey tribe (the tribe of Powhatan and Pocahontas) having federal recognition because the state screwed the indigenous folks over so bad. That has changed recently, though, and now we have seven that are federally recognized. We do have other tribes with land, but they couldn't be considered reservations because of their status.
I interact a fair amount with the Monacan tribe, here, because of some things I do with Scouting. They have some land on Bear Mountain that is part of their ancestral lands.
