First Meeting with Chief Powhatan
(Karena Series)

by Amber "V" Moonstone   6/23/08
 
As I approached the village,
Pocahontas, lovely girl,
was sitting at the fire,
playing with the children.
 
She looked up at me and smiled,
then nodded toward her father's dwelling
Chief Powhatan, the chief of 32 nations
has agreed to speak with me.
 
I feel confident, that he will listen,
and trust what I am about to tell him.
We are in for a great war,
I know this for the great eagle told me so.
 
I must warn the Chief,
help all his people
to find shelter and safety.
He will listen, the Great Eagle said so.
 
I walked into his dwelling,
Black bear skin above his bed chamber,
I felt peace and serenity in this place.
His dwelling was fit for a chief!
 
I sat on the floor beside his bed,
when he finally opened his eyes,
I saw a twinkle and a smile come to his lips.
It made me so proud to be Karena.
 
Upon talking to Chief Powhatan,
I realized how significant my visit has become.
He was saddened to hear such news,
but very thankful to be informed.
 
He told his tribe of the news.
They all immediately started to pack
and prepare for a journey toward safety.
I was proud to be the bearer of such news.
 
As they all started their caravan
toward the North,
I began to cry and wish
they were not leaving.
 
My children hugged my legs,
and told me not to be sad.
I knew in my heart,
We would all meet once again in peace.
 
Chief Powhatan, is a great  chief,
He strives for peaceful solutions,
always keeping his people in his heart,
and always seeking peace first.
 
One day, everyone will know his name,
he will be remembered throughout history,
As the Greatest Chief To have walked
Our Mother Earth.
 
Karena, Eagle Medicine Woman
June 1609
 
author's notes: When I was in Virginia, I became connected to the spirit of this great Chief, and Karena was right, we all do remember his Greatness.
Peace, love, and light,
Amber "V" Moonstone

Truly eloquently writing
I'm fascinated by this piece of history
On Chief Powhatan
And I'm fascinated with your beautiful chosen words
Which captured beautiful visuals
I felt as if I where siting next to that lovely girl,
by the fire!
Brilliant write my sweet friend!!

Good descriptive write of Chief Powhatan. Been to Va but only passing through mostly, would of loved to have seen his village and some historical facts about him to be learned. You have given quite a few here though and if I read the series, I am sure to learn more. thanks for these historical writes.

Amber, this very well done poetry about an historic figure who many don't even know about. If not for the benevolence of him and his tribe the Europeans would have really been in the schit.

Marvelous photograph! It is a wonderful area of the country to be, that's for sure. Wonderful tale an I can only wish there was someone to carry the news and more could have fled rather than be tortured unfairly....

Be always safe,

You're right, Amber. Many of us do remember his greatness. I have
written about Powhatan in my Hampton (Kikotan) book, and have a
Powhatan poem I may post one day. Good poem. -gene.

When you write this series it's as if you become a part of that time by a person who lives through you. Beautifully done series, that should become a book.

The native Americans are and always will be an interesting group of people. Poetry like yours keeps their culture alive--and we could all learn from them. Terrific poem.

The Karena Series is a valuable vehicle, a simple canoe to inform your readers of the native ways which are absolutely mysterious. First Meeting With Chief Powhatan superimposes native alliances on those of us living in this century. Also, this piece and many of your others ask the question "How shall we account for this nation spreading wars when there should be peace?" And of course, Pocahontas was honored in the early 1900s with her picture on a trading card in a pack of bubble gum and a postage stamp, and a few years ago with her story told on screen. Be well Amber.

Love,
Sage
