Croatan Peoples

Many stories and academic studies circulate about the fate of the Lost colonists and the existence of the Croatoan tribe. Where did they go? Is it only legend? Yet, there are people among us who claim Croatoan heritage and tell the stories that still remain. They claim they did not move down to the Lumber River but remained in the northern portions of the county around Carbonton, NC and the southernmost edge of Granville County. These families can be documented as abiding by Croatan laws in the 1850's - marrying with the tribe, going only to their own schools as to retain their culture and heritage as well as appearing on vital records with Croatan as origin.

This project starts out with information from Dr. Smallwood's presentation, funded by the North Carolina Humanities Organization and evolves to the discussion: Are they still among us?
