The Rev. William Reid, a representative of the Meherrin Indian Tribe, was invited to attend a special dedication ceremony on the grounds of Fort Christanna in Lawrenceville Virginia a location once inhabited by the Meherrin people. While there, he blessed the grounds that will now be forever seen as sacred grounds to, not only the Meherrin Indian Nation, but to the Saponi Occoneechee Tribe as well. The Saponi Tribe moved into the fort for protection after the land was abandoned by the Meherrin people as they made their way further east along the Meherrin River. With archeological digs taking place since 2000, artifacts of the Meherrin people have been uncovered and as state and historical authorities got together, the site will now take on a permanent stand in history as Fort Christanna, the home place of the Meherrin Indians. Fort Christanna dates back to at least 1714, and in 1924 was recognized with a Virginia state marker. An organization known as the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America in Virginia are credited with stepping in an effort to preserve the central three-acres where the fort is located. Brunswick County owned approximately 22 acres that surround the fort and now county and national historic authorities have signed the land over to be preserved.
