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.
