Additionally, North Carolina has been home to many Indigenous peoples at various points in time, including the tribes/nations of: Bear River/Bay River, Cape Fear, Catawba, Chowanoke, Coree/Coranine, Creek, Croatan, Eno, Hatteras, Keyauwee, Machapunga, Tuscarora, Tutelo-Saponi, Moratoc, Natchez, Neusiok, Pamlico, Shakori, Sara/Cheraw, Sissipahaw, Sugeree, Wateree, Weapemeoc, Woccon, Yadkin and Yeopim. Today, North Carolina recognizes 8 tribes: Coharie Tribe, Eastern Band of Cherokee Tribe, Haliwa- Saponi Indian Tribe, Lumbee Tribe of North Carolina, Meherrin Indian Tribe, Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, the Sappony, and Waccamaw Siouan Tribe. We honor and respect the diverse Indigenous peoples connected to the territory on which we gather. 6 S Y M P O S I U M A G E N D A Registration 8:00am - 9:00am Check in and enjoy light refreshments.

  • Ocanahowan and Recently Discovered Linguistic
    2 OCANAHOWAN AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED LINGUISTIC FRAGMENTS FROM SOUTHERN VIRGINIA, C. 1650 Philip Barbour Ridgefield, Connecticut Published in: Papers of the 7th Algonquian Conference (1975) Ocanahowan (or Ocanahonan and other spellings) was the name of an Indian town or village, region or tribe, which was first reported in Captain John Smith's True Relation in 1608 and vanished from the records after Smith mentioned it for the last time 1624, until it turned up again in a few handwritten lines in the back of a book. Briefly, these lines cover half a page of a small quarto, and have been ascribed to the period from about 1650 to perhaps the end of the century, on the basis of style of writing. The page in question is the blank verso of the last page in a copy of Robert Johnson's Nova Britannia, published in London in 1604, now in the possession of a distinguished bibliophile of Williamsburg, Virginia. When I first heard about it, I was in London doing research and brushing up on the English language, Easter-time 1974, and Bernard Quaritch, Ltd., got in touch with me about "some rather meaningless annotations" in a small volume they had for sale. Very briefly put, for I shall return to the matter in a few minutes, I saw that the notes were of the time of the Jamestown colony and that they contained a few Powhatan words. Now that the volume has a new owner, and I have his permission to xerox and talk about it, I can explain why it aroused my interest to such an extent.

The mild climate allowed for longer growing seasons, and a number of wide, slow­ moving rivers provided both navigation and a food source.

    The Southern Algonquians and Their Neighbours DAVID H. PENTLAND University of Manitoba INTRODUCTION At least fifty named Indian groups are known to have lived in the area south of the Mason-Dixon line and north of the Creek and the other Muskogean tribes. The exact number and the specific names vary from one source to another, but all agree that there were many different tribes in Maryland, Virginia and the Carolinas during the colonial period. Most also agree that these fifty or more tribes all spoke languages that can be assigned to just three language families: Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Siouan. In the case of a few favoured groups there is little room for debate. It is certain that the Powhatan spoke an Algonquian language, that the Tuscarora and Cherokee are Iroquoians, and that the Catawba speak a Siouan language. In other cases the linguistic material cannot be positively linked to one particular political group. There are several vocabularies of an Algonquian language that are labelled Nanticoke, but Ives Goddard (1978:73) has pointed out that Murray collected his "Nanticoke" vocabulary at the Choptank village on the Eastern Shore, and Heckeweld- er's vocabularies were collected from refugees living in Ontario. Should the language be called Nanticoke, Choptank, or something else? And if it is Nanticoke, did the Choptank speak the same language, a different dialect, a different Algonquian language, or some completely unrelated language? The basic problem, of course, is the lack of reliable linguistic data from most of this region. But there are additional complications. It is known that some Indians were bilingual or multilingual (cf.

    WEAPEMEOC SHORES: THE LOSS OF TRADITIONAL MARITIME CULTURE AMONG THE WEAPEMEOC INDIANS by Whitney R. Petrey April, 2014 Director of Thesis: Larry Tise, PhD Major Department: Maritime Studies The Weapemeoc were an Indian group of the Late Woodland Period through the Early Colonial Period (1400 A.D.-1780 A.D.) that went through significant cultural change as they were displaced from their traditional maritime subsistence resources. The Weapemeoc were located in what is today northeastern North Carolina. Their permanent villages were located along the northern shore of Albemarle Sound, with seasonal and temporary villages on the outer banks and upriver on the several tributaries that drain to the Albemarle Sound. Weapemeoc access to maritime resources would be altered significantly by European colonization and settlement in the area. The loss of maritime subsistence, maritime communication and maritime mentality resulted in the loss of the traditional culture of the Weapemeoc Indians and their seeming disappearance as a distinct group of people. Early historical records and maps illustrate the acculturation of the Weapemeoc and the loss of traditional maritime culture. As land was sold to settlers in prime areas along rivers and along the shore of the Albemarle Sound, Weapemeoc were displaced from their seasonal procurement sites and seasonal permanent villages. By 1704, a reservation was established by the colonial government for the Weapemeoc along Indiantown Creek. By 1780, the Weapemeoc lived in such a similar fashion as their neighbors of European descent that they are no longer distinguishable in the archaeological or historical record.

  • The Croatan Indians of Samson County, Their Origin and Racial Status, a Plea for Separate Schools" - Adolph Dial
    -------- ----------------------------------- ORAL HISTORY PROGRAM UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA MONOLOGUE: G. E. Butler, "The Croatan Indians of Samson County, Their Origin and Racial Status, a Plea for Separate Schools" - Adolph Dial DATE: September 3, 1971 D: Today is September 3, 1971. I am at the Sampson County Public Library, visiting the festivities of the Indians in Robeson County. Tonight there well be a princess contest, tomorrow a parade and speakers, and a thing on Sunday afternoon. While here in Sampson County, I thought it would be feasible to research in the library any material on the Indians of this area. I have here one book written by George E. Butler, Clinton, North Carolina, entitled The Croatan Indians of Sampson County, Their Origin and Racial Status":­ A Plea for Separate Schools. George E. Butler's son, Alvin R. Butler, is the federal judge of this district and is much in the news these days. He is holding a hearing on the public schools in the Prospect area of Robeson County. On the very first page are pictures of the Croatan Normal School at Pembroke, North Carolina--the first Croatan Indian school established and supported by the state. There were about fifty or sixty students. The copyright date of this book is 1916. It was published by the Seenman Printery, Durham, North Carolina. On the first page is a petition of the Indians of Sampson County to the Honorable Board of Education of Sampson County, North Car­ olina, stating: "The undersigned, your petitioners, a part of the Croatan Indians living in the county of Sampson,
