Contacting the Pamunkey Indian Tribe |
Contact Information
Should you need to contact the Tribe, please write
to:
Pamunkey Tribal Government
331 Pocket Rd.
King William, VA 23086
Please provide all pertinent information regarding
your reason to contact the tribe. It would be helpful if you provide a
telephone number and/or an e-mail address as we may choose to respond via
those methods.
Please understand that the Pamunkey Tribe reserves the right to choose whether or not to respond to any
unsolicited contact. The greater the importance and impact to the
tribe, the greater the likelihood that we will respond. We have no paid positions to
accomplish such actions (including Chief and Council) and responding to all
requests we typically receive on a weekly basis would overwhelm any
volunteer.
We will not respond to unsolicited requests for ancestry, genealogical,
or membership information. All such requests are
immediately disposed of and unsolicited funds accompanying such requests are
donated to the Pamunkey Indian Museum. We are well aware of the huge
interest regarding Pocahontas and the extensive information available which
identifies her lineage to present day. The Pamunkey Tribe has no
official stance on this interest by others to identify their lineage to
Pocahontas. Although Pocahontas was a member of our tribe, the
Pamunkey Tribe does not consider her descendants as tribal members nor would
these individuals be eligible for membership simply because of this lineage,
no matter how well-documented.
