The Manskin Indians were a tribe of Indians who were a part of the Powhatan Confederacy in historic Virginia. From 1620-1750 they are referred to as Manskin on several maps a name derived from Manaskunt. The numerous separate Indian villages shown in the Zuniga Map combined under the rule of Opechancanough as a result of the pressures of losses from infectious disease and encroachment by the English colonists.
