Motown Records was an American record label originally founded by Berry Gordy in 1959. Its importance stems from their support to exclusively African American artists (musicians) such as Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, Mary Wells, The Supremes, The Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, and many others, as well as from the popularization of funk as a genre.

What did the Powhatan Indians do for Jamestown
Naddik [55]

Powhatan Indians were mostly from East Virginia. They are indigenous Algonquian people. They speak Virginian Algonquian language. They are the descendants of Powhatans Confederacy.  Powhatan is referred as the leader or the head of the tribe. Many thousands of Powhatans have inhabited East Virginia. At that time, the British settlers were emigrating from Great Britain and they settled in Jamestown.

Powhatan maintained smooth relationships with the English men, though there were some incidents of internal conflict due to cultural differences arose but they were resolved when Powhatan gave their women in nuptial bond to English men.

Initially Powhatan were very compassionate but this was taken advantage and the English men started to demand Food constantly and this tested the patience of Powhatan chief who ordered to stop helping the English men.  

Powhatan’ brother who was young and energetic started a brutal attack and killed many hundreds of English Settlers, this annoyed Englishmen and they were repulsive in waging a brutal war. Gradually, the Englishmen dominated in Jamestown.
