	Powhatan Indian Chiefs and Leaders

		The aged chief was borne into battle on a litter when the Powhatan, on Apr. 18, 1644, fell upon the settlements and massacred 300 persons, then as suddenly desisted and fled far from the colony, frightened perhaps by some omen.
		Opechancanough was taken prisoner to Jamestown, where one of his guards treacherously shot him, inflicting a wound of which he subsequently died.

	Opechancanough, the massacre of 1622

		Opechancanough used various arts to inflame the anger of the Indians against the English.
		Opechancanough fled for his life to the land of the Pamunkeys, and lost much of his influence by a show of cowardice.

		Smith gave Opechancanough a compass, described to him a spherical earth that revolved around the sun, and wondered if his captor was a cannibal.
		Opechancanough, who was no cannibal and knew the world was flat, presented Smith to his elder brother, the paramount chief Powhatan.
		And while there are other "biographies" of Pocahontas, they have for the most part elaborated on her legend more than they have addressed the known facts of her remarkable life.

	5. Champions of the Golden River
		The English reluctantly fielded the ambitious commoner, John Smith; the Indians looked to Opechancanough, a prince of "large Stature, noble Presence, and extraordinary parts." Although they never formally met on a battleground, much to Smith's regret, the conflict between these larger-than-life heroes focuses the greater one between their people.
		Opechancanough seemed to agree with this reasoned eloquence, but he insisted that the men wait overnight while more supplies could be brought.
		As one of his men later reported, he firmly issued a challenge to Opechancanough to join in naked, single-handed combat, to be appropriately staged on an island in the river.

	*ATemplate
		Opechancanough was far more militant than his dead half-brother Chief Powhatan, and had been responsable for John Smith's early abduction during the reign of his brother, in which scenario Pocohontas is sometimes said to have intervened.
		Chief Opechancanough survived the 1st and 2nd Anglo Powhatan Wars, and he lived to orchestrate another massacre in 1644-an attempt to stem at best, and overcome if possible, the humiliation and defeat the Powhatan suffered with the 2nd Anglo Powhatan War.
		Opechancanough's gathering fury and his attempt to obliterate the colony can be described in sociologic terms as an attack on cultural deconstructionism as much as protection of territory.

	Powhatan Indian Lifeways
		Opechancanough resented the English, and, although Powhatan had been assured the Jamestown settlement was merely a temporary one, the new chief saw all too clearly that the English were in Virginia to stay.
		On March 22, 1622, Opechancanough's carefully-orchestrated plan to dismay and perhaps even rout his enemy was executed by his warriors throughout the small English settlements in Virginia.
		The English captured Opechancanough, by then an old and feeble man, and brought him to Jamestown, where he was shot in the back by a soldier against orders.

		Opechancanough became the leader of the Powhatans and led them for forty years until he led an attack in 1644 against the English and was captured and murdered in 1646.

		Opechancanough didn't buy it at all and Powhatan had his suspicions but also saw a personal advantage in dealing with the English and, in an elaborate ceremony, made Smith a lesser chief.

		The chiefdom's religious heartland, which was also a major economic breadbasket of the Pamunkey River valley, was ruled by all three of Powhatan's brothers, but it was the charismatic warrior Opechancanough who dwelt closest to the piedmont, where the enemy Monacans held sway.
		During that time his brother Opechancanough, actually the second in line of succession, appears to have superseded the old chief; eight years later he would lead many of Powhatan's possessions in a war against the English.

		Of even greater concern, perhaps, were the renewed colonial efforts to convert and educate the "savages." Opechancanough's response to the threat of cultural deconstruction was to plan and stage a massive attack on the English settlement as a demonstration of Indian power and in an attempt to drive off the English for good.
		According to English accounts, Opechancanough planned to attack the Jamestown fort as well as the outlying settlements.
		They feigned peaceful relations, let the Indians plant their corn wherever they chose, and then, just before the crop was ready for harvest, they attacked them, killing as many as they could and burning their crops.
