From wikipedia:The Cheraw people, also known as the Saraw or Saura,[1] were a Siouan-speaking tribe of indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands,[1] in the Piedmont area of North Carolina near the Sauratown Mountains, east of Pilot Mountain and north of the Yadkin River. They lived in villages near the Catawba River.[2] Their first European and African contact was with the Hernando De Soto Expedition in 1540. The early explorer John Lawson included them in the larger eastern-Siouan confederacy, which he called "the Esaw Nation."[3]After attacks in the late 17th century and early 18th century, they moved to the southeast around the Pee Dee River, where the Cheraw name became more widely used. They became extinct as a tribe, although some descendants survived as remnant peoples. Seller ID: 17040 Subject: Native Americans David A.
