Answer

A

Explanation

Powhatan was the leader of the Algonququian Indians living in Tidewater Virginia. He was the father of Pocahontas, who is a well-known figure in American history due to her interactions with English colonists. The other options provided are not accurate descriptions of Powhatan. Option B describes an enslaved African man, which is not related to Powhatan. Option C describes a Wampanoag Indian, which is a different tribe from the Algonquian and is located in Massachusetts, not Virginia.
