Christmas is traditionally a time of gift-giving. Ever wonder why? Mark Custalow of the Mattaponi and Chickahominy tribes of Virginia shares the Christmas story - and reminds us that we celebrate this day because of the greatest gift ever given. What are you going to do with the gift of Jesus?
Since 1646, the Mattaponi tribe has kept treaties with the governor of Virginia, whether he was appointed by the King of England or elected by citizens of the Commonwealth. The existing treaty calls for an annual tribute from the tribe to the governor – once in the form of beaver pelts, and now a gift of deer presented at a Thanksgiving-day ceremony. But despite its 350-year relationship with Virginia, the Mattaponi have not been formally recognized by the U.S. government. Tribal leaders want to change that. Earlier this month, the tribe filed another petition for federal recognition. And Gov. Glenn Youngkin wrote to the U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Interior for Indian Affairs supporting the Mattaponi's recognition.

While some are working to record endangered languages, here in Hampton Roads the Powhatan Algonquian Intertribal Roundtable, or PAIR, a consortium of eight sovereign nations, is working to bring the Powhatan language (also known as Virginia Algonquian) back to life after three centuries of dormancy. PAIR consists of representatives from the Chickahominy, Eastern Chickahominy, Mattaponi, Upper Mattaponi, Nansemond, Rappahannock, Pamunkey and Patawomeck tribes from the area between the James River and the Potomac River in Virginia, historically called Tsenocomoco and home to the Powhatan chiefdom. PAIR has secured a 3-year language preservation grant through 2026 from the Administration for Native Americans. This episode includes interviews with Lenora Adkins and Kayla Locklear of the Chickahominy (www.chickahominytribe.org), leaders of the language project Omisun ( waking oneself up); along with language specialists Dr. Stephanie Hasselbacher, PhD.(https://kenahconsulting.com) and Ian Custalow, both of whom are working with PAIR. Custalow, a gifted language speaker, is a member of the Mattaponi, and has been researching the Powhatan language for more than 20 years. We also tap into the expertise of Scott Dawson, a Hatteras Islander who has spent decades exploring the linguistic and archaeological heritage of Algonquian speakers. We speak with Kole Matheson, an at-large member of the Cherokee Western Band, a Tidewater resident, and instructor at Old Dominion University, ODU. As one of four panelists at a symposium on Indigenous Language Preservation at ODU, organized by Applied Linguistics graduate student Sara Rose Hotaling, Matheson attested to the importance of preserving language in connecting to culture. The goals of PAIR are to create a 24-lesson curriculum for learning Powhatan, to make a dictionary of the language, and to complete a map with native place names. As Adkins says, “We want to learn it first!” And, “Check back in with us in 3 years!” Send your comments, feedback and questions to languagingHR@gmail.com

In this week's episode of Leaning Right and Turning Left, Hermie pulls another superstar friend out of his phone book when the boys interview 6-time WWE Women's Wrestling Champion Mickie James! Mickie recounts her road to professional wrestling superstardom, her incredible dual career as a country music star, and both she and The Senator get into a passionate and moving conversation about her Native American heritage as a member of Virginia's historic Mattaponi tribe, when Mickie suddenly realizes that Senator Stanley is her mother's (and other family member's) trial attorney in their ongoing fight for freedom and women's rights with the elders of the tribe who seek to silence their voice and ability for women to participate in tribal government. In this week's Leaning Right moment, the Senator and Sadler discuss more “Left Lunacy” with former Prince Harry's bashing America at the UN, liberal activists demanding that anthropologists stop referring to ancient human remains as either male or female, since they say there is “no way to know how they ‘identified'” when they were alive, the belief by a dopey college professor that a biological male can get pregnant, and even how a former dude being nominated for the NCAA's “female athlete of the year” sets back women's equality in Title IX collegiate athletics. In Hermie's Turning Left moment, both he and his SS Racing Team partner discuss the upcoming and historic return of racing on the asphalt of North Wilkesboro Speedway on August 2nd and 3rd, with NASCAR® great Ryan Newman driving the SSR #39 open-wheel modified on opening night, and their top-tier team modified driver Jonathan Brown driving the car on the second night! And, the guys get yet another message on “Hermie's Answering Machine” that asks them: “who's better?” So pull those belts tight one more time ladies and gentlemen, its time to drop the green flag on another great episode of The Leaning Right and Turning Left with Sadler and The Senator Podcast!

Four years ago the Upper Mattaponi Tribe received federal recognition. Since then it has built a health clinic and purchased lands that were recently accepted into federal trust. Pamela D'Angelo reports on the significance for the Tribe and nearby communities.
For the first time in over 100 years, Mattaponi women will be able to vote for their next chief; Governor Glenn Youngkin's executive order making masks in schools voluntary cannot be enforced in some school districts; The contentious Supreme Court confirmation hearings this week have highlighted the lack of professional diversity on the nation's highest court; and other local news stories.
Each year the Pamunkey and Mattaponi Tribes fulfill a legal obligation that has become a Thanksgiving fixture in Virginia. Jahd Khalil has more.
Walkerton, Virginia is 58 miles from the Chesapeake Bay, and the Mattaponi River running through it is completely fresh water, making it easy to forget it has any connection to the Bay at all. But it has an interesting claim to fame--it has the highest average daily tide change of any location on the Chesapeake. How does such a distant, freshwater town have such a strong tide? John Page Williams explains how the interactions of fresh water, salt water, short-period waves, long-period waves, and the uniqueness of the Mattaponi itself converge to create Walkerton's unique place on the tide tables.

Sarah Quint is a citizen of the Mattaponi Nation of Tsenacommacah, Turtle Island (Eastern Virginia, USA). In today's episode, Sarah and Jen talk about the ways "Christianity" steals identity, the power of dreams in Indigenous spirituality, and Sarah's journey into what she calls "becoming fully Mattaponi and fully a follower of Jesus." More from Sarah's bio: She is a mother of two boys, River and Reed. She is a creative who remodels homes for a living and also has a love for plant knowledge and foraging. With the help of her Elders and the Holy Spirit, Sarah has been walking the decolonizing, contextualizing, and reconnecting Way of Jesus. Sarah leads in this integrating journey through writing songs in her Tribe's traditional tongue, connections to the land, writing, teachings and oral storytelling. She is a church planter, currently co-pastoring with her husband at Monroe City Church in Monroe, MI that is set to launch in 2021.
The crew reviews Bryson DeChambeau's win at the US Open, a round a Mattaponi Springs and if this particular DC course is Haynes Point or East Potomac.
On this month's podcast we have Dr. Ashley Spivey, Executive Director of Kenah Consulting and enrolled member of the Pamukey Indian Tribe. We start out talking about Ashley continuing her family legacy of maintaining her community's heritage through material culture. Dr. Spivey also talks about the recent recognition of 7 Virginia tribes despite Virginia's *paper genocide* and their historic erasure. While normally only recognized related to the first English settlements in America as the Powhatan Chiefdom, she discusses Virginia tidewater Indigenous communities' long and vibrant role throughout American history. Finally we discuss her current work through Kenah Consulting to build tribal capacity in Virginia and across the US to support sovereignty and self-determination. They assist in building lasting capacity through federal acknowledgement, land claims, natural resource rights, cultural resource management planning, program development, and grant writing. Photos include a photo of Dr. Spivey, a photo of the front façade of the Pamunkey Indian Museum and Cultural Center, and two photos from archaeological excavations at the Raymond Bush Site on the Reservation. This research was funded through the Society for American Archaeology Native America Graduate Student Scholarship and formed the foundation of her dissertation research. The two photos from this excavation include one of Dr. Spivey and her grandfather, Warren Cook, and one of the excavation team comprised of Pamunkey and Mattaponi tribal members and a William and Mary colleague.

Marking the Virginia Tribal Affordable Housing Summit, Ramona Chapman looks back at a conversation with Upper Mattaponi Tribal Chief W. Frank Adams. The session was recorded following the 2019 Virginia Governor's Housing Conference panel session that kicked off a collaborative look at housing across Virginia's tribes, coordinated by Virginia DHCD, and Virginia Housing. "My dream," says Chief Adams, "now that we've been Federally recognized, is to acquire some funds to buy some property and and build some homes on that property for our low income Native Americans who would love to move back, but can't afford to." Hear the full conversation wherever you get your podcasts.
This week the guys sit down with Janett and her family at Mattaponi Winery . We hear there story while doing a wine and whoopie pie taste testing. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/behindthegrind/support
In which I interview Dr. Ashley Spivey concerning Native Virginian history, culture, influence, as well as past, present, and future Native concerns.
In yet another episode of White Men Are the Worst, Jessica brings the story of Pocahontas, as passed down through the oral tradition of the Mattaponi tribe. This isn't your Disney Princess story, no matter how somewhat accurate the sequel was. As usual, Savannah and Jessica somehow manage to bring National Treasure into the conversation, and we learn that watering tobacco with the blood of your enemies does not make it taste sweeter. Go figure.
An abbreviated history of Pocahontas and John Smith, this episode looks at the conflict largely from the Powhatan side. This isn't the Disney version. It is gritty, dark, violent, and, if Mattaponi oral history is to be trusted, fairly disturbing. Still, it tells the story of a clash of worlds, and one woman who stood in the middle to bring a brief peace. The creature this week lives in lime trees and, in return for probably not paying rent, will hurt you if you're mean to the tree.
