Episode 3: The Future

On the final episode of the season, coastal policy expert Elizabeth Armistead Andrews teaches us how climate change and development are altering the Chesapeake Bay area - including the Pamunkey Tribe’s Reservation lands. Ashley Spivey shares her hope for the future of the Tribe.
Corrections
- We incorrectly stated that VCPC is working with the Pamunkey Tribe on installing the living shoreline, when in fact it is VIMS (Virginia Institute for Marine Science). VCPC provided policy analysis and some recommendations concerning various issues in reference to their shoreline, but VIMS designed and implemented the living shoreline project.
- We state Dominion Energy, due to the Surry Skiffe powerline project, was required to “compensate” the Tribe $4.5 million. The money was not compensation, but rather, these funds were the result of mitigation negotiations under the National Historic Preservation Act's Section 106 consultation process that Dominion Energy was legally required to undertake with the Tribes and other consulting parties due to the negative impact of a significant cultural/historic resource, in this case, the landscape and viewshed of the James River.

Episode 2: The Present

In Episode 2, we take a closer look at the Pamunkey Tribe’s dynamic and complex relationship with the American Shad. Dr. Troy Tuckey of the Virginia Institute of Marine Science joins us to explain the science behind the decline of this important fish species.
Corrections
- We state American shad feed on insect larvae in the ocean. In fact, they feed on insect larvae when they are juveniles in the rivers just after hatching. While in the ocean they feed on plankton and other small marine invertebrates.
- The manual milking and fertilizing of the shad in the boats of fishermen was a sort of ritual, not something they did because they noticed a decline in shad population. The mechanization of the manual approach and establishment of the hatchery in 1918 was directly tied to the Pamunkey witnessing the shad population's decline.
In July 2020, the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) was renamed the Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR).

Episode 1: The Past

Friday Oct 30, 2020
In the first episode of our first series, we speak with Pamunkey Tribal Member Ashley Spivey to understand the historical context of the Tribe’s relationship with natural and cultural resources. We learn how the Tribe’s mutually beneficial relationship with these resources has helped them persevere before, during, and after colonization.
Correction: We state that prior to Powhatan coming to power the region lacked a centralized political entity. In fact, there was a centralized political entity that existed prior to Powhatan coming to power, it was just not as far reaching geographically as it became by 1607 when Powhatan had expanded his influence to approximately 30-32 tribes.
