The Nansemond Tribe .
The Nansemond have been recognized as a Native American tribe by the Commonwealth of Virginia, along with ten other Virginia Indian tribes.
They are not Federally recognized but are one of six Virginia tribes without reservations that are included in a bill for Federal recognition under consideration by the United States Congress.
Most members of the tribe live in the Suffolk/Chesapeake, Virginia area.
At the time of European encounter, the historic Nansemond tribe spoke a variety of the Algonquian-language. The Nansemond Wikipedia Page.

On my way home I happened to pass Stumpy Lake and was lucky to see this juvenile Bald Eagle riding the thermals!
