The Powhatan Indians lived in forests and along the Chesapeake Bay. Women built houses and did most of the work inside. Men hunted deer and fish and boys would learn to steam fish to preserve it. Boys celebrated becoming teenagers by going into the forest without food or water to learn to deal with pain, while girls simply got married. Powhatan men wore mohawks and skirts, while girls wore skirts and coats. The document provided some information about the Powhatan tribe's way of life but included many unrelated comments.
