The Powhatan of Tsenacomoco For the Powhatan, and many neighboring tribes, it was understood that unused farmland remained under the control of the original tribe. Therefore, the Powhatan owned much land, even when it wasn’t being used or occupied. This was very different from the English way of doing things. When the English arrived in Virginia, they brought their own ideas of land ownership with them and staked claim to much of Powhatan territory.
