That's how the Native Americans in Virginia would say hello when the first Europeans arrived here. They were the Powhatan Indians who were a very powerful tribe of Native Americas in this area.
Their chief was named Wahunsunacock, but everyone called him Powhatan after the village he was born in. At the time the Jamestowne settlers came in 1607, there were about 20,000 Native Americans in Powhatan's Nation. Powhatan controlled more than 32 chiefs who lived in more than 150 town and settlements!
The settlements looked alot like the one in Jamestown that you go to with Bobbie sometimes.
Love you like a brave native chief,
Dad
