John Smith Explores the Chesapeake
Native Inhabitants
At the time of Smith’s explorations, an estimated 50,000 American Indians dwelled the Chesapeake region—as their ancestors had for thousands of years. Their sophisticated societies included arts and architecture, systems of government, extensive trade and communication networks, and shared spiritual beliefs. The native peoples hunted, fished, grew crops, and gathered food and raw materials from the land and waterways.
