When the colonists landed in Virginia in May 1607, they moved into a land already occupied by the Powhatan Indians. The English claimed the land as their own, ignoring the fact that the land already had a leader. Powhatan was the paramount chief of the Powhatan tribes in the area. The colonists began to take the land’s resources for their own needs, despite the Powhatan already living on this land.
