The whole area is old indian grounds.
Historical irony. In the early 1600's Powhatan's soothsayers and magicians told him to beware of enemies coming from the East. Powhatan sent his army to completely decimate the Chesapeake Indians (to his East). A few years later English landed in VABCH and then moved up to Jamestown.

I guess I wasn't specific in my post. Don't they need to determine it's Pamunkey Tribe's grounds?

I seriously doubt they overlooked that major point. Do you really think they would be ready to spend all that money if they didnt think that they could prove they are ancestral lands?
