Context and resources
Treaties, Land And Family Continuity
The Tribe's timeline describes treaties with colonial Virginia, a reservation and leaders working to preserve land, language and community as colonial policy changed. It also describes Nottoway families sustaining genealogy, oral tradition and community ties through pressures to assimilate during the Racial Integrity Act era. This is its published historical account, not a present boundary or treaty-rights determination.
Context reviewed by ZOTHEOS.
Community History And Education
The Tribe dates the opening of its Capron Community House & Interpretive Center to May 5, 2012. Its page says Nottoway family citizens operate and fund it and that community and tribal volunteers staff it. The exhibit connects trade, colonial expansion and continuing tribal identity. These are the Tribe's descriptions of community education, not independent confirmation of today's staffing, hours or class availability.
