"In the time of the first planting of corn there will come a tribe from the bay of the Chesapeake. This tribe will build their longhouses on the land of the Powhatan. They will hunt and fish and plant on the land of the Powhatan. Three times the Powhatan will rise up against this tribe. The first battle will end and the Powhatan will be victorious. But the tribe will grow strong again. The Powhatan will rise up. The second battle will end and the Powhatan will be victorious. But the tribe will grow strong once more. The third battle will be long and filled with bloodshed. By the end of this battle, the Powhatan kingdom will be no more."-Prophecy delivered to Chief Powhatan, ruler of the Powhatan empire
