Indian Field Creek

The ground to the south along this creek was the home of the Chiskiack Indians, a small tribe whose leader was a "werowance," or petty chief, under Powhatan. As the English began to settle this area, about 1630, the Chiskiacks moved across the York River into the present Gloucester County.

Marker can be reached from Colonial National Historic Parkway 0.8 miles west of Mason Row, on the left when traveling west.
