EFFECTIVE DATE: The act would be effective when the bill becomes law. BACKGROUND: The language in House Bill 600 is consistent with the language that was added to G.S. 71A-5 for the Haliwa-Saponi Indian Tribe of North Carolina in S.L. 2006-111 and in G.S. 71A-3 for the Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina in S.L. 2019-162. *Billy R.

Agriculture 6. Religion 7. Language 8. Tools 9. Pottery Ancient Peoples of the North Carolina Piedmont Remember, most of the people living in the NC Piedmont before 1725 were never contacted or named. This list is only of those who were named. As noted, many of the names were those given to them by someone else, so we do not even know what they called themselves. By 1750, most native people had moved out of this region. Many had earlier joined with other groups because diseases had reduced their populations drastically. Some of the named groups probably included those from other groups. The idea of “tribes” with boundaries and prejudice against others outside their boundaries is a European concept not an early Piedmont Native American one. It would not have been unusual for groups to accept others or to move in with stronger, more populated peoples. 1. Cape Fear No native name was preserved. They may have been part of the Waccamaw people. Some moved in with eastern South Carolina groups; others joined the Catawba. 2. Catawba Also called “Iswa” meaning “people of the river” or “people of the river broken banks.” And in 1701, the “Ushery.” They were the largest Siouan-speaking group. Some moved to Oklahoma during the early 1800s. Today they live near York, South Carolina. 3. Cheraw/Saura In South Carolina, the Spanish called them Xuala.

The migrants arrived in northeastern North America and served as the donor culture for what eventually developed into Clovis tool-making technology.

Saponi History Book
Scott Preston Collins Chapter 1: The Ghost-men of the Woodlands Anciently the Siouan speaking groups originated in the Ohio River Valley. They began moving to the Piedmont of Virginia around 800 A.D, possibly following migrating buffalo herds in the directions they went. (1) Siouan groups migrated north and west into the Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin areas, some moved west to the Great Plains, some stayed in the Ohio River Valley, between the Licking River and the Ohio River, and along Scioto River and further west along the Kanawha River. Some settled into the Piedmont regions of the Quirank and Appalachian Mountains. (2) The Menominee are an Algonquin tribe that resided on the north shore of Lake Michigan at European contact. In the Menominee oral tradition there is a Winnebago arrival narrative. The Winnebago, or Ho Chunk (Hotcâgara, people of the parent speech), are a Siouan speaking tribe and are sometimes credited with the effigy mounds in the Wisconsin area as well originating in the pre-Columbian Ohio River Valley. The Winnebago came to the Menominee in the form of ravens or blackbirds across Lake Michigan to Red Banks on Green Bay. This story at least indicates a westward moving Siouan speaking population preserved in oral tradition. (3) James Mooney concluded that the Siouan speaking tribes originated in the Ohio Valley based on his study of the dispersal of the language along with informants among the Plains Dakotans. The Siouan speakers on the Great Plains maintained oral traditions which stated that they came from the east and near to the Great Lakes.

(RE)CONSTRUCTING and (RE)PRESENTING HERITAGE: EDUCATION and REPRESENTATION in an AMERICAN INDIAN HOMELAND PRESERVATION PROJECT B
(RE)CONSTRUCTING AND (RE)PRESENTING HERITAGE: EDUCATION AND REPRESENTATION IN AN AMERICAN INDIAN HOMELAND PRESERVATION PROJECT by LESLEY MARIE GRAYBEAL (Under the Direction of Diane Brook Napier) ABSTRACT Experiences of the Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation (Occaneechi) in constructing a heritage revitalization initiative known as the Homeland Preservation Project and organizing related educational programming were analyzed through an ethnographic case study. The purpose of the study was to understand the importance of the heritage museum as a site for organizing educational initiatives. Scholarship in museum studies treats heritage museums as sites for the construction of identity through the portrayal of culture and history, but focuses largely on display rhetoric and visitor interpretations. I used ethnographic methods to develop a case as an example of a local tribal museum and its significance, as explained by those involved in organizing and executing related educational initiatives. Having achieved state recognition only in the past decade, the Occaneechi are in the midst of a concerted effort to educate tribal members and descendents, other area tribes, and non-Indigenous community members about their distinct heritage and present-day existence. The Homeland Preservation Project plays a significant role for tribal members in addressing issues of identity, creating a dynamic understanding of culture in transition, recovering Indigenous Knowledge, confronting stereotypes about American Indian people, organizing new types of participation
