Land Acknowledgement River City Roller Derby lives, practices, and bouts on land that is stolen from the Powhatan Nation of American Indians. The Powhatan are a collection of tribes whose language is a branch of Eastern Algonquian. Before their displacement by English settlers in the 1700s the Powhatan were a confederation of 30 tribes covering much of the tidewater region in present day eastern Virginia including Richmond, Virginia. Despite deliberate and sustained efforts to erase the Powhatan people and their culture by English settlers, and later the United States government, 6 federally recognized tribes from the Powhatan nation still exist today in Virginia: Chickahominy Indian Tribe, Chickahominy Indian Tribe–Eastern Division, Nansemond Indian Nation, Pamunkey Indian Tribe, Rappahannock Tribe, Upper Mattaponi Tribe. There are many additional tribes in Virginia that do not have federal recognition. Their existence must not be diminished by their lack of governmental recognition. RCRD would like to take a moment to acknowledge the historic and ongoing stewardship of the Powhatan people over Virginian land as well as their longstanding resilience against injustice and oppression. Please consider learning more about their people and culture from the following resources. Also please consider supporting them financially by supporting local, indigenous artists. powhatannation.us chickahominytribe.org cied.org nansemond.gov pamunkey.org rappahannocktribe.org mattaponi.gov virginianativeartsalliance.com
