North Carolina has the largest American Indian population east of the Mississippi River. The 2000 U.S. Census counts 99,551 individuals who listed as American Indians. The state recognizes eight tribes: Eastern Band of the Cherokee; Coharie; Lumbee; Haliwa-Saponi; Sappony; Meherrin; Occaneechi Band of Saponi Nation; and Waccamaw-Siouan. The federal government officially recognizes one tribe--the Cherokee.
