What is "cockacoeske"

Cockacoeskie (also spelled Cockacoeske) (ca. 1640 – ca. 1686) was a 17th-century leader of the Pamunkey tribe in what is now the American state of Virginia. During her thirty-year reign, she worked within the English system, trying to recapture the former power of past paramount chiefs and maintain peaceful unity among the several tribes under her leadership. She was the first of the tribal leaders to sign the Virginia-Indian Treaty of Middle Plantation.

In 2004 Cockacoeske was honored as one of the Library of Virginia's " Virginia Women in History".
