Traditional Native Wedding (Officiated by Chief Walt Red Hawk Brown)
On April 23, 2011, Occoneechee State Park had the pleasure of hosting a Native American wedding between Cassandra “Buffalo Heart Woman” and Joseph “Screaming Hawk” Jackson. From what we know this was the first wedding of this type to have taken place at a Virginia State Park. I interviewed the future Mrs. Jackson with the assistance of Megan Varner Occoneechee’s second Youth Ambassador. We obtained the following information:

The bride’s first name Cassandra was given to her after her mother was visited in a vision by her grandmother whose names was also Cassandra. Cassandra is from the Cheroenhaka “Nottoway” Nation. Joseph, the groom, is Haliwa-Saponi; both belong to the Iroquois.
Before the ceremony, a medicine man blesses the circle where the marriage is held. The circle is very sacred.
