Emanuel Cung & Biak Sung
The place was been around since 1861 and has 9 million things in the museum.
We talked about Virginia Indians, the most famous one was Pocahontas. When John White came he was old, but Pocahontas was around 11 to 12 so she wasn't in love with him that was false in the movies.
A man named John White painted a picture of a village to show the English people. Women did the construction and hard work. They used a shoulder blade of a deer as a tool for building houses. They used deer body to kill other deers, they even used deer pee to be more disguised. They used tendons of a deer for the stretchy part of a bow, they used antlers from the deers for the arrows, then they used the bone part of a deer's foot for a fish hook.
Q. How they study artifacts?
A. They get the info from the person they got it from. The lady told us that they got something from Alexander Hamilton, he gave it to his son, and the son gave it to John Marshall, and Marshall's son gave it to the VMHC.
Pocahontas was held for ransom but the demand was never met. Whether she was forced to are wanted too she got married to a guy. She became a baptized Christian and changed her name to Rebecca. She had a son named Thomas.
