The Tsenacommacah

Tsenacommacah (speak: Sen-ah-cóm-ma-cah, variously spelled as Tenakomakah, Tscenocomoco, Tsenacomoco, Attanoughkomouck, and Attan-Akamik - 'densely inhabited land') is the name given by the Powhatan Indians to their native homeland, the area encompassing all of Tidewater Virginia and parts of the Eastern Shore.

More precisely, its boundaries spanned 100 miles (160 km) by 100 miles (160 km) from near the south side of the mouth of the James River all the way north to the south end of the Potomac River and from the Eastern Shore west to about the fall line of the rivers.
