The Land of the Mattaponi


Our connection to the land, grounds us to our ways and, at the same time, provides the path to a better future for all.

The Mattaponi Land

The land of the Mattaponi Nation is located in present-day King William County, Virginia, along the banks of the Mattaponi River. The Mattaponi reservation, which is a vital part of our tribe's identity and culture, was established in 1658 and confirmed in 1658, and covers approximately 150 acres. The reservation is home to a vibrant and growing tribe. 

The land is primarily wooded, with a mix of pine, oak, and hickory trees, and is home to a variety of wildlife, including deer, wild turkey, and eagles. The Mattaponi River, which runs beside the reservation, has long been an important source of food and transportation for the tribe, and is still used for fishing and other traditional practices. 

We continue to work towards protecting and preserving it for future generations.
