Nansemond Indian Nation oyster planting in Suffolk, Virginia
Nikki Bass, vice chair of the Nansemond Indian Nation tribal council, poses for a portrait at Mattanock Town in Suffolk, Va., on July 27, 2024. Official ownership of the roughly 75-acre property was recently transferred to the tribe from the city of Suffolk. “I live right across from the Nansemond River, less than 20 feet away from me. My favorite thing to do is see who is on the river each morning. The day after the Mattanock Town settlement, I went out, and there was a dolphin right there,” Bass said.
