daniellopez+FollowAncient Rappahannock villages uncovered in VirginiaCenturies-old mysteries along the Rappahannock River just got a lot clearer—archaeologists have uncovered thousands of artifacts confirming the presence of Indigenous villages that John Smith wrote about back in 1608. These finds don’t just back up old colonial journals; they also match the oral histories of the Rappahannock tribe, whose descendants still live nearby and are working to reclaim their ancestral lands. The discoveries are sparking fresh conversations about how history is remembered and who gets to tell it. What do you think: Should more land be returned to Indigenous communities when their history is proven like this? #History #VirginiaHistory #IndigenousHeritage30Share
