lots of seafood (oysters, clams, crabs; and remember at this time there
were elk, bison and probably moose in Va.

Folks,

I am starting a new story for children and it will be about spending a
day 
with Pocahontas in the summer of 1609. I believe Pocahontas would have
been 
14 or 15 by then, and John Smith still in the colony???

I am wondering what young Native Americans drank with their meals.
Water? 
Did the press juice from berries and fruit?

Also, does anyone know if there was any husbandry among the Powhatans?
Did 
they keep chickens for eggs? Gather eggs from ducks? Never eat eggs?
Cook 
eggs hard or fried?

I am, as you may recall, a long way from a library (and can no longer
drive 
on the Interstate) and on limited means, so borrowing or buying books is

tough. Following internet links to sources is my favorite way of doing 
research. Email addresses are also helpful, if you just know someone who

knows.

Thanks for any help on the Pocahontas' diet in the summer months.

Anne
