The Chickahominy Tribal Center in Charles City hosted the first “State Banquet” between the Chickahominy Tribe, Charles City County, surrounding tribes, and British Delegation on Sunday, May 20. The celebration reflected on the life of Pocahontas and her relationship to close the gap between Native Americans and the British people.
