“In modern Powhatan cultural revitalization, oki is reclaimed as a central and neutral-to-positive spiritual force. He is not a devil, but a presence that demands respect, much like natural law. The continued offering of tobacco, acknowledgment of sacred sites, and prayers to oki are part of traditional practice.”
