I could talk about the Monacan, Tutelo, Saponi, Mattaponi, Chickahominy, or the Powhatans, but their language groups were Siouan and Algonquin, and since Virginia tribes aren't federally recognized people tend to go with that instead for identity.

Actually it's probably a good thing the Indians died out for the most part.    Without them there was no need for tribal bickering.  

I have said it before and will still say that I am glad we were a British colony.
