educatedindian:
Thanks. Do you have contact information for any of these eastern Siouan groups? I know it may be more difficult as some of these groups, esp in the southeast, are not fed recognized. Though unlike the other case we've been discussing, there's little doubt the majority of them are who they say they are.

This contact info is from a Tiller's Guide to American Indian tribes from the late 1990's.

I am not sure if there has been evidence that these groups are relatived
to us I have been doing research on these groups for a long time and I can
not find any evidence that to the stories they tell are true. I have our oral stories that
show we have never been in the east coast we traveled as far as the Mississippi
River. We know that as we traveld up the Mississippi River our people broke off
from the Nation which was the Dakota. So that is how i know the Biloxi are a part of
us. I have to laugh when i hear the stories from the so called Saponi because they
always say they are decendant of the Blackfeet-Lakota people but the band was not
created until the middle 1700s so i would prefer you leave them off my list thank you.

in all fairness the Haliwa Saponi are real. The Saponis in Ohio, PA, and MO I cannot speak for. I know that there are a lot of people
where I live who have ancestry from Virginia of all places. The Shakori, Saponi, Ocaneechi, Tutelo, Monacan, Manahoac,
and Nahyssan Siouan peoples all came from what is now VA and West VA. These people had plenty of unsettled area to hide
in in the late 1600's and early 1700's and more than likely intermarried with the poor immigrants moving beyond English
colonial control in that time. This probably explains the whole Blackfoot Cherokee misnomer I've also heard. I spoke with
a professor Heriberto Dixon from SUNY New Paltz at the Grand River Pow-Wow at Osweken, Ontario in 2003. He was
an Eno Ocaneechi descendant from two Siouan tribes that inhabited VA and NC up until the early 1700's. There are Tutelo
people who were adopted by the Cayuga Nation in the 1750's and live at Grand River now. I've spoken with Osage people,
Kaw people, and Otoe-Missouria people who acknowledge that the different Siouan peoples lived in the east and either
moved west on the Ohio (Dheghia), went to the Wisconsin area and went southwest across Iowa and MO (Chiwere),
or went to the top of the Great Lakes and went west (Lakota Dakota and Nakota). As far as the Waccamauw people
are concerned, they have had numerous books written about them and they were almost federally recognized by the US
Government in 1950. FYI, I began memorizing tribes off the top of my head about fifteen years ago. Here are the eastern
Siouan tribes I memorized alphabetically:  Biloxi, Chicora, Cheraw, Catawba, Cape Fear, Congaree, Eno, Keyauwee,
Manahoac, Moneton, Monacan, Moctobi, Nahyssan, Ocaneechi, Ofo or Mosapelea, Pee Dee, Santee, Sissepahaw
Saponi, Shakori, Sewee, Tutelo, Wateree, Woccan, Waccamauw, Waxhaw, Winyaw, and Yadkin. The eastern Siouan
domain was from VA through the Carolinas and west into S. Ohio, and KY. The Biloxi and Mosapelea migrated west and south
down the Miss River shore eventually winding up with the Tunica near the boot of LA in the 1770's. There are academic language books written by natives that show the linguistic connections of all the siouan peoples. I originally learned linguistic connections
and taught myself tribal geography pre colonialism through languages with the Swanton ethnology book at the Haskell library
about 13 years ago.
