Nice piece! I visited Werowocomoco some years ago, before the property was wholly protected and our understanding of the site was still rudimentary. A miracle, and a testimony to the sensitivity and generosity of the owners and a joy that it is now open for learning a great deal about this seat of power for the 17th C. confederation of tribes.
Thank you!
