His empire was comprised of 30 some tribal groups and extended from the Chesapeake Bay to the falls of the James River.\nWoman Cooking\nPowhatan women made breads and hominy from corn. Other crops were used with meats or in stews. They also gathered a large variety of edible wild plants, roots, nuts and berries.\nMother with Baby\nDuring the spring and summer months, the women and children spent time in the fields, planting and weeding crops of corn, beans, squash and sunflowers.\nHunter with Bow\nPowhatan men primarily used bows and arrows for hunting deer, turkey and small game. In the winter, men joined in large hunts for deer. Most of the camp would move to the hunting grounds.\nPocahontas\nThe favorite daughter of the chief Powhatan became friends with John Smith when he was captured by her father. She was about 11 years old when the English first arrived at Jamestown.\nWarrior with Battle Club\nPowhatan men went to war for revenge, to defend their territory or to capture women and children for adoption into the tribe. Most battles were surprise attacks fought with clubs.\nDugout Canoe\nPowhatan Indians made canoes from cypress logs. They burned out the inside and removed the charred remains with shell and stone scrapers.\nDeer Hide\nThe Powhatans used hides for clothing and blankets. The hair was removed with shell or stone scrapers. It was then tanned and smoked to make it waterproof and soft.\nDeer\nThe deer was the most important animal to the Powhatan Indians. Deer not only provided meat, but also skin for clothing, bones for tools and weapons, and sinew for fastening tool and weapons parts.\nBear\nThe Powhatan hunted bear for meat and skins. \nFox\nPowhatans hunted small game such as foxes for fur.\nFire\nThe Powhatans cooked over an open hearth.\n\n\n","brand":"SAFARI LTD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39695707832529,"sku":"SAF680304","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0506\/2538\/0562\/products\/TOOB_-_POWHATAN_INDIANS.png?v=1622478435","url":"https:\/\/www.adventurehobbiesandtoys.com\/products\/toob-powhatan-indians","provider":"Adventure Hobbies \u0026 Toys","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
