RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The Department of Historic Resources has
approved three new highway markers commemorating the history of
Virginia Indians.
One sign will be installed along the Chickahominy River between
New Kent and Charles City counties. It recounts the destruction of
Chickahominy Indian towns by English colonists in 1645.
Another marker to be installed in Williamsburg notes the
imprisonment of about 40 Nazattico Indians in 1704.
The third marker will be installed in King and Queen County. It
recalls the 1676 insurrection led by colonist Nathaniel Bacon, whose sympathizers drove Pamunkey Indians from their main town on
the Pamunkey River.
