About the Nansemond Indian Nation

The Nansemond Indian Nation are the Indigenous people of the Nansemond River, a 20-mile-long tributary of the James River in Virginia. Their settlements spanned both sides of the river, where they harvested oysters, hunted and farmed until European immigrants drove them from their land in the 1600s. The tribe was officially recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia on February 20, 1985, and received federal recognition in 2018. The Nansemond Nation’s tribal headquarters are currently located in Suffolk County, Va.
