FEEDBACK 38 L . .INFORMATION PACKET - - - (inside back cover) IJfl'RODUCl'ION In prehistoric times an ocean covered what is now known as the Coastal Plain of South Carolina . Rivers flowed from the nearby mountains and deposited silt along 'the coastline . Gradually a broad band of sand dunes developed into what we now know as the Sandhills region . Humans probably have lived in the Sandhil.is for over 10,000 years . Prior to the arrival of Europeans, the area was populated by scattered tribes of Indians, including the Wateree, Santee, Cheraw, Congaree, Waxhaw, and Pee Dee . Later those people joined togetherr to form the Catawba Nation . There is little information available con ering early European activity in the Sandhills . During the sixteenth century a number of explorers passed through the area . During the next 150 years traders and trappers made trips to the area for deer hides and furs on a regular basis . It was not until the mid-1700's that Europeans began to establish permanent residences in inland South Carolina . 0 During the late 1800's the-vast longleaf pine forests supported a naval stores industry . In addition to the lumber industry, turpentine was made from the pine sap extracted from the gold "fat lighter pines" . The last of the virgin pine forest was removed in the early 1900's . After the timber was removed the land was sold for farms . Deep, infertile, sandy soils and poor fanning practices caused most agricultural attempts to fail . When the Federal government purchased the land it was badly eroded and almost no wildlife were present . Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge was established by Executive Order Number 8067 dated March 17, 1939 during the Resettlement Administration under authority of the 1933 National Industrial Recovery Act and the Emergency Relief Appropriation of 1935 . The entire area acquired contains approximately 92,000 acres ; of that 45,591 .4 acres are ad- ministered as Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge . The remaining acreage is titled Carolina Sandhills Wildlife Management Area and is leased. to the State of South Carolina . Through a lease and cooperative agreement the South Carolina Commission of Forestry manages the Wildlife Management Area primarily for timber and wood products as well as public recreation such as hunting . Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge is part of the Sandhills region in South Carolina that is the transition zone between the Coastal Plain and Piedmont Plateau . Uniquely, much of the flora and fauna found on the east side of the refuge is similar to those species found in the Coastal Plain, and much of the flora and fauna on the west side of the refuge is similar to those species found in the Piedmont Plateau . The refuge is characterized by gently rolling hills with elevations ranging from 200 to 500 feet above sea level . Deep, sandy soils predominate with scattered outcroppings of clay . Woodlands cover approximately 92 percent of the refuge . The major forest type is longleaf pine with a scattered understory of turkey oak . Where clay outcropping occurs, longleaf may be replaced by loblolly pine, and blackjack oak may be more common in the understory . There are numerous small creeks and tributaries that transect the refuge . Narrow bands of hardwood stands -i- and pocosin ecotones border the streams and produce sc=~ of the best wild- life habitat found on the refuge . rflIcfls are t1iirt-y nun-iijade ponds on W)v 0 refuge, created by placing dams along the streams, Approximately 1,100 acres of open fields scattered throughout the refuge add edge and diversity . 0 A. HIGHLIGHTS • The refuge office has been. relocated into previous Quarters # 203 (Sec . 7 .2) . The Lake Bee dam and spillway were repaired with special Emergency Dam Repair funds (Sec . I .2) . Waterfowl use of the refuge declined for the second consecutive year (Sec . G .3) . 'Me specially .funded cougar survey drew to a close without obtaining positive evidence of cougar presence on the refuge this year (Sec . G .2b) . 13 . CLIMATIC CONDITIONS This station records only precipitation data . All temperature data is derived from the local news media . Reported temperatures for the Sandhills region of the Carolinas (for 1985) tended to be either above or below normal throughout most of the year . 'This was particularly true in January when temperatures were reported to be in the high 80's at the beginning of the month but had dipped to - 6°F by January 20 . Pleasant weather had returned by the end of February when temperatures were reported to be in the upper 70's . The only other unpleasant weather occurred during the period from mid-June through the end of July . During this period life was made miserable by temperatures which were frequently reported to be approaching 100°F with relative humidities in the 90 percent plus range . The balance of the year was generally moderate in spite of minor temperature abnormalities . For the fourth consecutive year precipitation was above normal (See Tables 1 and 2) and was fairly evenly distributed throughout the period . However, we did undergo a drouthh period during the spring planting season (March through May) when only 3 .84 inches was recorded (70 percent of which fell during the- final month) . This severely effected nearly all refuge agricultural . ohexa- tions . Several corn fields had to be replanted ; all of the lespedeza plantings were lost entirely . September and December, which received .83 and .64 inches respectively, were dry months, but the balance of the year was wet . 7 Table 1 .

  • A Message from the Principal Chief David W. Hill
    A Message from the Principal Chief David W. Hill Hesci! As Principal Chief I am humbled and honored to establish the Mvskoke Reservation Protection Commission. This Commission is tasked to comprehensively undertake research, analysis and fact- finding to determine what actions and changes are necessary to develop new economic development, public safety, and social services policies that ensure a better future for tribal members and our neighbors as a result of the Supreme Court’s affirmation of our jurisdictional sovereignty over Mvskoke lands. The individuals on our Commission have been selected for their knowledge, education and experience in many specific areas that our historic victory concerns. As Muscogee (Creek) citizens, we are all heirs to a legacy of survival, perseverance and strength. Our ancestors dreamed that one day, we might find ourselves where we are right now. We have assembled the best and the brightest of us, from coast-to-coast all across the country to rise and meet this moment. No matter where you are if you are a citizen of this Nation, the Mvskoke Reservation is your home. And it’s up to each of us to protect it. The victory in the Supreme Court and the affirmation of our sovereignty was historic and will always be a day we fittingly celebrate. But, it’s the work we do now and moving forward that will ultimately stand the test of time and lead us to full victory. We have to work together to educate our neighbors that this decision is about clarity, not chaos. The opportunity in front of us to thrive is far greater than our Nation or the state of Oklahoma has ever seen.

  • South Carolina the Portal of Native American Genocide in Southeast………….Still Haunts…The Southeastern Coastal State
    South Carolina the Portal of Native American Genocide in Southeast………….Still Haunts…the southeastern coastal state By Will Moreau Goins Ph.D. Charleston has been called "the most haunted city in North America". I would like to think that the Ghosts haunting Charleston are not only the many pirates, endentured servants, European colonists and enslaved Africans that historically passed through this port city, but I would like to believe that many of those spirits that linger in this monumental city and throughout this state are those of the many indigenous people that once called South Carolina their home. Maybe it would be nice to think of these Native spirits as still here, at the coastline, to welcome newcomers as they did hundreds of years ago and to remind residents that South Carolina is still Native American Indian sacred land. Or even just to tell their stories from their grave as they rattle their chains. Possibly they are here to tell their haunting story of the American Indian Holocaust that took place on this soil. I know that one of those Natives that are hauntingly reminding us of this, is that of the famed Seminole Chief, Osceola. Yes, Osceola’s decapitated body is interred here in South Carolina today. It was on December 1837 that Captain Pitcairn Morrison of the 4th U.S. Infantry transferred Osceola and 202 other Seminoles to Fort Moultrie in South Carolina, after his capture from their stance in the Florida everglades. The steamship Poinsett landed the Seminoles on Sullivan's Island on New Year's Day 1838.

Who among you now is ready? Who will go upon this journey? You must choose.” Allowat Sakima urged us as we took the great Ordeal. I believe his great words ring true still today. 2017 was a landmark year for Muscogee. We had the opportunity to host Dixie for the first time in over a decade, we were represented well among Operation Arrow staff at the 2017 National Jamboree, and we celebrated our 75th year of giving service back to our units, our council, and our communities. As we enter into the new year let us strive to be the best we can be, do the best we can, in all the ways we can. Let us go above and beyond what is expected of us. Let us show everyone that we are Muscogee. This year our lodge has a chance to make our mark once again through Dixie and NOAC. I hope that all of us will work together and make these events successful. Over the past few years, the leadership quality of the lodge has decreased from the quality of those in the past. The showing of arrowman for lodge events and participation for Ordeals could be a lot better.

  • Santee Chub Cyprinella Zanema
    Supplemental Volume: Species of Conservation Concern SC SWAP 2015 Santee Chub Cyprinella zanema Contributor (2005): Gene Hayes and Jason Bettinger [SCDNR] Reviewed and Edited (2013): Mark Scott, Andrew R. Gelder, and M. Troy Cribb [SCDNR] DESCRIPTION Taxonomy and Basic Description The Santee Chub is also a member of the family Cyprinidae. Containing 29 species, Cyprinella is the second largest genus of American cyprinids (Jenkins and Burkhead 1994). Members of the genus Cyprinella are distinguished from other cyprinids by their large, vertical, diamond-shaped scales and a black blotch in the dorsal fin (Rohde et al. 1994). In South Carolina, there are 8 species of Cyprinella. The Santee Chub is probably most closely related to the Thinlip Chub; these two species share similar habitat types (Rohde et al. 1994). The Santee Chub can reach a length of 75 mm (3 in.) (Page and Burr 1991). This chub has a slender, fusiform body, a long snout, and exhibits dark cross-hatching on the back and sides. Breeding males are silvery with yellow fins and black streaks on the dorsal and caudal fins (Rohde et al. 1994). Status The Santee Chub is currently stable (Warren et al. 2000) and apparently secure (G4) throughout its range, though it is not ranked (SNR) in South Carolina and is considered vulnerable (S3) in North Carolina (NatureServe 2013). POPULATION SIZE AND DISTRIBUTION The Santee Chub is restricted to the Santee River drainage within South Carolina, primarily in the Piedmont and Blue Ridge Foothills (Rohde et al. 1994). A few populations of Santee Chub found in the Coastal Plain represent an undescribed species known as the “Thinlip” Chub.
