For thousands of years the Pamunkey River has connected a people to a place, and has sustained generations of the Tribe.  Today it is under pressure from invasive species and pollution, but a new generation of Pamunkey members, in tandem with Government scientist, are working to bring the river and its fish populations back to a healthy place.  Follow along as tribal members and researchers explain the unique history of theTribe and how this river has affected the lives of so many Pamunkey Indians.
