Found your site while researching for an article. Love the history and articles. I am the new Editor for BellaOnline’s Native American site and I’m attempting to compile information on all Federal and State recognized Tribes. This is not for publication, but my personal use for research. Is it possible for someone to contact me at the email address above?
Thank you for your time in replying.
Hello,
I am a fourth grade teacher at Stafford County Schools and am writing on behalf of one of my students. He is interested in learning more about the Upper Mattaponi tribe.
He has a few questions for you.
I will let him type them below. He is also interested in speaking with you if you have time and could send us your contact information.
1. Do you still celebrate traditions from your tribe?
2. What natural resources did your tribe use to survive many years ago?
3.When did the settlers arrive at your village?
4. Whats the history of your tribe?
