The Patawomeck is or are a tribe?
editI would expect something along the lines of "the Navajo are the largest tribe". Is Patawomeck not used in the plural? Wikipeditor 20:38, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- You are probably right on this. Badagnani 03:57, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
- I agree..it`s grammatically incorrect as is..it might be correct to say Patawomeck is or was an indigenous settlement.2600:1702:2340:9470:CDBD:559F:A0CF:F0D1 (talk) 01:46, 25 November 2022 (UTC)
20th century to present
editThis seems to be mostly about chief Green and his son. We need sources as well as other info. Was he elected? How did the tribe reorganize/survive? What else is going on?--Parkwells (talk) 19:33, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA)
editNAGPRA can only be used by federally recognized tribes and I edited to try to make this clear in the article. Non-federally recognized tribes do have a way where they may be able to use NAGPRA, sort of, but I don't think that is clear enough in the article. I think more sources to flesh this out would help. I know I read that the Patawomeck were told that once they got state recognition they could petition for bones of the their ancestors, but I can't remember where. Plus considering how NAGPRA works I don't think that that means they definitely can considering how NAGPRA works, but I'm not sure. Any help in this would be great.Sarah1607 (talk) 21:00, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

this article is very poorly cited
editThere is very little evidence suggesting these people are a legitimate tribe and frankly I do not know how the state of Virginia recognized them. There are no modern attestations of the patawomecks surviving -71.61.132.17 (talk) 01:33, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
