				IVRappahannock
			 Tribe, Inc.
			401.FindingsCongress finds that—
				(1)during the initial
			 months after Virginia was settled, the Rappahannock Indians had 3 encounters
			 with Captain John Smith;
				(2)the first
			 encounter occurred when the Rappahannock weroance (headman)—
					(A)traveled to
			 Quiyocohannock (a principal town across the James River from Jamestown), where
			 he met with Smith to determine whether Smith had been the great
			 man who had previously sailed into the Rappahannock River, killed a
			 Rappahannock weroance, and kidnapped Rappahannock people; and
					(B)determined that
			 Smith was too short to be that great man;
					(3)on a second
			 meeting, during John Smith’s captivity (December 16, 1607 to January 8, 1608),
			 Smith was taken to the Rappahannock principal village to show the people that
			 Smith was not the great man;
				(4)a
			 third meeting took place during Smith’s exploration of the Chesapeake Bay (July
			 to September 1608), when, after the Moraughtacund Indians had stolen 3 women
			 from the Rappahannock King, Smith was prevailed upon to facilitate a peaceful
			 truce between the Rappahannock and the Moraughtacund Indians;
				(5)in the settlement,
			 Smith had the 2 Indian tribes meet on the spot of their first fight;

			 established that both groups wanted peace, Smith told the Rappahannock King to
			 select which of the 3 stolen women he wanted;
				(7)the Moraughtacund
			 King was given second choice among the 2 remaining women, and Mosco, a
			 Wighcocomoco (on the Potomac River) guide, was given the third woman;
				(8)in 1645, Captain
			 William Claiborne tried unsuccessfully to establish treaty relations with the
			 Rappahannocks, as the Rappahannocks had not participated in the Pamunkey-led
			 uprising in 1644, and the English wanted to treat with the Rappahannocks
			 or any other Indians not in amity with Opechancanough, concerning serving the
			 county against the Pamunkeys;
				(9)in April 1651, the
			 Rappahannocks conveyed a tract of land to an English settler, Colonel Morre
			 Fauntleroy;
				(10)the deed for the
			 conveyance was signed by Accopatough, weroance of the Rappahannock
			 Indians;
				(11)in September
			 1653, Lancaster County signed a treaty with Rappahannock Indians, the terms of
			 which treaty—
					(A)gave Rappahannocks
			 the rights of Englishmen in the county court; and
					(B)attempted to make
			 the Rappahannocks more accountable under English law;
					(12)in September
			 1653, Lancaster County defined and marked the bounds of its Indian
			 settlements;
				(13)according to the
			 Lancaster clerk of court, the tribe called the great Rappahannocks lived
			 on the Rappahannock Creek just across the river above
			 Tappahannock;
				(14)in September
			 1656, (Old) Rappahannock County (which, as of the date of enactment of this
			 Act, is comprised of Richmond and Essex Counties, Virginia) signed a treaty
			 with Rappahannock Indians that—
					(A)mirrored the
			 Lancaster County treaty from 1653; and
					(B)stated
			 that—
						(i)Rappahannocks were
			 to be rewarded, in Roanoke, for returning English fugitives; and
						(ii)the
			 English encouraged the Rappahannocks to send their children to live among the
			 English as servants, who the English promised would be well-treated;
						(15)in 1658, the
			 Virginia Assembly revised a 1652 Act stating that there be no grants of
			 land to any Englishman whatsoever de futuro until the Indians be first served
			 with the proportion of 50 acres of land for each bowman;
				(16)in 1669, the
			 colony conducted a census of Virginia Indians;
				(17)as of the date of
			 that census—
					(A)the majority of
			 the Rappahannocks were residing at their hunting village on the north side of
			 the Mattaponi River; and
					(B)at the time of the
			 visit, census-takers were counting only the Indian tribes along the rivers,
			 which explains why only 30 Rappahannock bowmen were counted on that
			 river;
					(18)the Rappahannocks
			 used the hunting village on the north side of the Mattaponi River as their
			 primary residence until the Rappahannocks were removed in 1684;
				(19)in May 1677, the
			 Treaty of Middle Plantation was signed with England;
				(20)the Pamunkey
			 Queen Cockacoeske signed on behalf of the Rappahannocks, who were
			 supposed to be her tributaries, but before the treaty could be
			 ratified, the Queen of Pamunkey complained to the Virginia Colonial Council
			 that she was having trouble with Rappahannocks and Chickahominies,
			 supposedly tributaries of hers;
				(21)in November 1682,
			 the Virginia Colonial Council established a reservation for the Rappahannock
			 Indians of 3,474 acres about the town where they dwelt;
				(22)the Rappahannock
			 town was the hunting village on the north side of the Mattaponi
			 River, where the Rappahannocks had lived throughout the 1670s;
				(23)the acreage
			 allotment of the reservation was based on the 1658 Indian land act, which
			 translates into a bowman population of 70, or an approximate total Rappahannock
			 population of 350;
				(24)in 1683,
			 following raids by Iroquoian warriors on both Indian and English settlements,
			 the Virginia Colonial Council ordered the Rappahannocks to leave their
			 reservation and unite with the Nanzatico Indians at Nanzatico Indian Town,
			 which was located across and up the Rappahannock River some 30 miles;
				(25)between 1687 and
			 1699, the Rappahannocks migrated out of Nanzatico, returning to the south
			 side of the Rappahannock River at Portobacco Indian Town;
				(26)in 1706, by order
			 of Essex County, Lieutenant Richard Covington escorted the
			 Portobaccos and Rappahannocks out of Portobacco Indian Town, out of Essex
			 County, and into King and Queen County where they settled along the ridgeline
			 between the Rappahannock and Mattaponi Rivers, the site of their ancient
			 hunting village and 1682 reservation;
				(27)during the 1760s,
			 3 Rappahannock girls were raised on Thomas Nelson’s Bleak Hill Plantation in
			 King William County;
				(28)of those
			 girls—
					(A)1 married a
			 Saunders man;
					(B)1 married a
			 Johnson man; and
					(C)1 had 2 children,
			 Edmund and Carter Nelson, fathered by Thomas Cary Nelson;
					(29)in the 19th
			 century, those Saunders, Johnson, and Nelson families are among the core
			 Rappahannock families from which the modern Tribe traces its descent;
				(30)in 1819 and 1820,
			 Edward Bird, John Bird (and his wife), Carter Nelson, Edmund Nelson, and Carter
			 Spurlock (all Rappahannock ancestors) were listed on the tax roles of King and
			 Queen County and taxed at the county poor rate;
				(31)Edmund Bird was
			 added to the tax roles in 1821;
				(32)those tax records
			 are significant documentation because the great majority of pre-1864 records
			 for King and Queen County were destroyed by fire;
				(33)beginning in
			 1819, and continuing through the 1880s, there was a solid Rappahannock presence
			 in the membership at Upper Essex Baptist Church;
				(34)that was the
			 first instance of conversion to Christianity by at least some Rappahannock
			 Indians;
				(35)while 26
			 identifiable and traceable Rappahannock surnames appear on the pre-1863
			 membership list, and 28 were listed on the 1863 membership roster, the number
			 of surnames listed had declined to 12 in 1878 and had risen only slightly to 14
			 by 1888;
				(36)a reason for the
			 decline is that in 1870, a Methodist circuit rider, Joseph Mastin, secured
			 funds to purchase land and construct St. Stephens Baptist Church for the
			 Rappahannocks living nearby in Caroline County;
				(37)Mastin referred
			 to the Rappahannocks during the period of 1850 to 1870 as Indians,
			 having a great need for moral and Christian guidance;
				(38)St. Stephens was
			 the dominant tribal church until the Rappahannock Indian Baptist Church was
			 established in 1964;
				(39)at both churches,
			 the core Rappahannock family names of Bird, Clarke, Fortune, Johnson, Nelson,
			 Parker, and Richardson predominate;
				(40)during the early
			 1900s, James Mooney, noted anthropologist, maintained correspondence with the
			 Rappahannocks, surveying them and instructing them on how to formalize their
			 tribal government;
				(41)in November 1920,
			 Speck visited the Rappahannocks and assisted them in organizing the fight for
			 their sovereign rights;
				(42)in 1921, the
			 Rappahannocks were granted a charter from the Commonwealth of Virginia
			 formalizing their tribal government;
				(43)Speck began a
			 professional relationship with the Tribe that would last more than 30 years and
			 document Rappahannock history and traditions as never before;
				(44)in April 1921,
			 Rappahannock Chief George Nelson asked the Governor of Virginia, Westmoreland
			 Davis, to forward a proclamation to the President of the United States, along
			 with an appended list of tribal members and a handwritten copy of the
			 proclamation itself;
				(45)the letter
			 concerned Indian freedom of speech and assembly nationwide;
				(46)in 1922, the
			 Rappahannocks established a formal school at Lloyds, Essex County,
			 Virginia;
				(47)prior to
			 establishment of the school, Rappahannock children were taught by a tribal
			 member in Central Point, Caroline County, Virginia;
				(48)in December 1923,
			 Rappahannock Chief George Nelson testified before Congress appealing for a
			 $50,000 appropriation to establish an Indian school in Virginia;
				(49)in 1930, the
			 Rappahannocks were engaged in an ongoing dispute with the Commonwealth of
			 Virginia and the United States Census Bureau about their classification in the
			 1930 Federal census;
				(50)in January 1930,
			 Rappahannock Chief Otho S. Nelson wrote to Leon Truesdell, Chief Statistician
			 of the United States Census Bureau, asking that the 218 enrolled Rappahannocks
			 be listed as Indians;
				(51)in February 1930,
			 Truesdell replied to Nelson saying that special instructions
			 were being given about classifying Indians;
				(52)in April 1930,
			 Nelson wrote to William M. Steuart at the Census Bureau asking about the
			 enumerators’ failure to classify his people as Indians, saying that enumerators
			 had not asked the question about race when they interviewed his people;
				(53)in a followup
			 letter to Truesdell, Nelson reported that the enumerators were flatly
			 denying his people’s request to be listed as Indians and that the race
			 question was completely avoided during interviews;
				(54)the Rappahannocks
			 had spoken with Caroline and Essex County enumerators, and with John M.W. Green
			 at that point, without success;
				(55)Nelson asked
			 Truesdell to list people as Indians if he sent a list of members;
				(56)the matter was
			 settled by William Steuart, who concluded that the Bureau’s rule was that
			 people of Indian descent could be classified as Indian only if
			 Indian blood predominated and Indian identity was
			 accepted in the local community;
				(57)the Virginia
			 Vital Statistics Bureau classed all nonreservation Indians as
			 Negro, and it failed to see why an exception should be
			 made for the Rappahannocks;
				(58)therefore, in
			 1925, the Indian Rights Association took on the Rappahannock case to assist the
			 Rappahannocks in fighting for their recognition and rights as an Indian
			 tribe;
				(59)during the Second
			 World War, the Pamunkeys, Mattaponis, Chickahominies, and Rappahannocks had
			 to fight the draft boards with respect to their racial identities;
				(60)the Virginia
			 Vital Statistics Bureau insisted that certain Indian draftees be inducted into
			 Negro units;
				(61)finally, 3
			 Rappahannocks were convicted of violating the Federal draft laws and, after
			 spending time in a Federal prison, were granted conscientious objector status
			 and served out the remainder of the war working in military hospitals;
				(62)in 1943, Frank
			 Speck noted that there were approximately 25 communities of Indians left in the
			 Eastern United States that were entitled to Indian classification, including
			 the Rappahannocks;
				(63)in the 1940s,
			 Leon Truesdell, Chief Statistician, of the United States Census Bureau, listed
			 118 members in the Rappahannock Tribe in the Indian population of
			 Virginia;
				(64)on April 25,
			 1940, the Office of Indian Affairs of the Department of the Interior included
			 the Rappahannocks on a list of Indian tribes classified by State and by
			 agency;
				(65)in 1948, the
			 Smithsonian Institution Annual Report included an article by William Harlen
			 Gilbert entitled, Surviving Indian Groups of the Eastern United
			 States, which included and described the Rappahannock Tribe;
				(66)in the late 1940s
			 and early 1950s, the Rappahannocks operated a school at Indian Neck;
				(67)the State agreed
			 to pay a tribal teacher to teach 10 students bused by King and Queen County to
			 Sharon Indian School in King William County, Virginia;
				(68)in 1965,
			 Rappahannock students entered Marriott High School (a White public school) by
			 executive order of the Governor of Virginia;
				(69)in 1972, the
			 Rappahannocks worked with the Coalition of Eastern Native Americans to fight
			 for Federal recognition;
				(70)in 1979, the
			 Coalition established a pottery and artisans company, operating with other
			 Virginia tribes;
				(71)in 1980, the
			 Rappahannocks received funding through the Administration for Native Americans
			 of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop an economic program
			 for the Tribe; and
				(72)in 1983, the
			 Rappahannocks received State recognition as an Indian tribe.

				VMonacan Indian
			 Nation
			501.FindingsCongress finds that—
				(1)in 1677, the
			 Monacan Tribe signed the Treaty of Middle Plantation between Charles II of
			 England and 12 Indian Kings and Chief Men;
				(2)in 1722, in the
			 Treaty of Albany, Governor Spotswood negotiated to save the Virginia Indians
			 from extinction at the hands of the Iroquois;
				(3)specifically
			 mentioned in the negotiations were the Monacan tribes of the Totero (Tutelo),
			 Saponi, Ocheneeches (Occaneechi), Stengenocks, and Meipontskys;
				(4)in 1790, the first
			 national census recorded Benjamin Evans and Robert Johns, both ancestors of the
			 present Monacan community, listed as white with mulatto
			 children;
				(5)in 1782, tax
			 records also began for those families;
				(6)in 1850, the
			 United States census recorded 29 families, mostly large, with Monacan surnames,
			 the members of which are genealogically related to the present
			 community;
				(7)in 1870, a log
			 structure was built at the Bear Mountain Indian Mission;
				(8)in 1908, the
			 structure became an Episcopal Mission and, as of the date of enactment of this
			 Act, the structure is listed as a landmark on the National Register of Historic
			 Places;
				(9)in 1920, 304
			 Amherst Indians were identified in the United States census;
				(10)from 1930 through
			 1931, numerous letters from Monacans to the Bureau of the Census resulted from
			 the decision of Dr. Walter Plecker, former head of the Bureau of Vital
			 Statistics of the Commonwealth of Virginia, not to allow Indians to register as
			 Indians for the 1930 census;
				(11)the Monacans
			 eventually succeeded in being allowed to claim their race, albeit with an
			 asterisk attached to a note from Dr. Plecker stating that there were no Indians
			 in Virginia;
				(12)in 1947, D’Arcy
			 McNickle, a Salish Indian, saw some of the children at the Amherst Mission and
			 requested that the Cherokee Agency visit them because they appeared to be
			 Indian;
				(13)that letter was
			 forwarded to the Department of the Interior, Office of Indian Affairs, Chicago,
			 Illinois;
				(14)Chief Jarrett
			 Blythe of the Eastern Band of Cherokee did visit the Mission and wrote that he
			 would be willing to accept these children in the Cherokee
			 school;
				(15)in 1979, a
			 Federal Coalition of Eastern Native Americans established the entity known as
			 Monacan Co-operative Pottery at the Amherst Mission;
				(16)some important
			 pieces were produced at Monacan Co-operative Pottery, including a piece that
			 was sold to the Smithsonian Institution;
				(17)the
			 Mattaponi-Pamunkey-Monacan Consortium, established in 1981, has since been
			 organized as a nonprofit corporation that serves as a vehicle to obtain funds
			 for those Indian tribes from the Department of Labor under Native American
			 programs;
				(18)in 1989, the
			 Monacan Tribe was recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia, which enabled the
			 Tribe to apply for grants and participate in other programs; and
				(19)in 1993, the
			 Monacan Tribe received tax-exempt status as a nonprofit corporation from the
			 Internal Revenue Service.

				VINansemond Indian
			 Tribe
			601.FindingsCongress finds that—
				(1)from 1607 until
			 1646, Nansemond Indians—
					(A)lived
			 approximately 30 miles from Jamestown; and
					(B)were significantly
			 involved in English-Indian affairs;
					(2)after 1646, there
			 were 2 sections of Nansemonds in communication with each other, the
			 Christianized Nansemonds in Norfolk County, who lived as citizens, and the
			 traditionalist Nansemonds, who lived further west;
				(3)in 1638, according
			 to an entry in a 17th century sermon book still owned by the Chief’s family, a
			 Norfolk County Englishman married a Nansemond woman;
				(4)that man and woman
			 are lineal ancestors of all of members of the Nansemond Indian tribe alive as
			 of the date of enactment of this Act, as are some of the traditionalist
			 Nansemonds;
				(5)in 1669, the 2
			 Nansemond sections appeared in Virginia Colony’s census of Indian
			 bowmen;
				(6)in 1677, Nansemond
			 Indians were signatories to the Treaty of 1677 with the King of England;
				(7)in 1700 and 1704,
			 the Nansemonds and other Virginia Indian tribes were prevented by Virginia
			 Colony from making a separate peace with the Iroquois;
				(8)Virginia
			 represented those Indian tribes in the final Treaty of Albany, 1722;
				(9)in 1711, a
			 Nansemond boy attended the Indian School at the College of William and
			 Mary;
				(10)in 1727, Norfolk
			 County granted William Bass and his kinsmen the Indian
			 privileges of clearing swamp land and bearing arms (which privileges
			 were forbidden to other non-Whites) because of their Nansemond ancestry, which
			 meant that Bass and his kinsmen were original inhabitants of that land;
				(11)in 1742, Norfolk
			 County issued a certificate of Nansemond descent to William Bass;
				(12)from the 1740s to
			 the 1790s, the traditionalist section of the Nansemond tribe, 40 miles west of
			 the Christianized Nansemonds, was dealing with reservation land;
				(13)the last
			 surviving members of that section sold out in 1792 with the permission of the
			 Commonwealth of Virginia;
				(14)in 1797, Norfolk
			 County issued a certificate stating that William Bass was of Indian and English
			 descent, and that his Indian line of ancestry ran directly back to the early
			 18th century elder in a traditionalist section of Nansemonds on the
			 reservation;
				(15)in 1833, Virginia
			 enacted a law enabling people of European and Indian descent to obtain a
			 special certificate of ancestry;
				(16)the law
			 originated from the county in which Nansemonds lived, and mostly Nansemonds,
			 with a few people from other counties, took advantage of the new law;
				(17)a Methodist
			 mission established around 1850 for Nansemonds is currently a standard
			 Methodist congregation with Nansemond members;
				(18)in 1901,
			 Smithsonian anthropologist James Mooney—
					(A)visited the
			 Nansemonds; and
					(B)completed a tribal
			 census that counted 61 households and was later published;
					(19)in 1922,
			 Nansemonds were given a special Indian school in the segregated school system
			 of Norfolk County;
				(20)the school
			 survived only a few years;
				(21)in 1928,
			 University of Pennsylvania anthropologist Frank Speck published a book on
			 modern Virginia Indians that included a section on the Nansemonds; and
				(22)the Nansemonds
			 were organized formally, with elected officers, in 1984, and later applied for
			 and received State recognition.
