The towne of Pomeiock

"This watercolor by the English artist John White shows the fortified Indian town of Pomeiooc in the Outer Banks region of present-day North Carolina. White visited the town in July 1585. The Indians who resided there were closely related in language and culture to the Indians of Tidewater Virginia; thus, White's painting, and others he made at the time, are an important source of historical and ethnographic information about both groups." - Encyclopedia Virginia, The Trustees of the British Museum.
