The Powhatan (also spelled Powatan and Powhaten) is a Native American confederation of tribes in Virginia. It may also refer to the leader of those tribes commonly referred to as Chief Powhatan. It is estimated that there were about 14000–21000 Powhatan people in eastern Virginia when the English settled Jamestown in 1607.
