Abstract:
The brief Chowan River War which raged on the Virginia-North Carolina border from 1676-1677 had direct connections to both Bacon's Rebellion and Culpepper's rebellion. Despite the factionalism rampant among the English settlers, the power of the Chowanoke Indians in the area was broken.

Abstract:
In the summer of 1946, Franklin, North Carolina residents came together to save the sacred Cherokee “Mother Town” of Nikwasi, located in Franklin. History student, Nathaniel F. Holly agrues that although the Franklinites relied on their ideas of the “vanishing Indian” as support for their cause, ultimately, their efforts assisted with the disappearance of these Amerindians. However, the Cherokee Indians never disappeared from the Franklin area and their presence now forces Franklinites to consider the irony of this preservation effort.

Abstract:
Indians were the original Tar Heels, for their roots in North Carolina go back hundreds of years before the territory was claimed by European settlers. In recognition of that history, Governor James B. Hunt, Jr. has proclaimed September 20-26 as Indian Heritage Week in North Carolina. From the Cherokee Reservation in the west to the Waccamaw-Siouan tribal area in the southeast section of the state, statewide observances will celebrate the history and contributions of North Carolina Indians with various events and festivities.

Abstract:
Over the course of the 18th century, the native North Carolina Chowan population adopted European practices and sold their allocated reservation lands to conform and survive in the British colony. These actions led to their reclassification from “Indians” to “Colored People” by colonial officials, who also assumed there was a loss of cultural identity. Contemporary writers incorrectly believed the Chowans no longer existed as a political or cultural entity, however an examination of archival and oral histories indicates that the Chowan people have maintained their cultural identity. Furthermore, their colonial racial reclassification is indicative of attitudes towards race and identity formation in the 18th century.

Abstract:
This article presents a general historic overview of Hog Island, 1585-1711. Laughton discusses the island’s 16th century inhabitants, the Neusiok, and associated archaeological sites and historic records. While several historic shell mounds have been destroyed, other archaeological evidence continues to offer insight into the past. The historic record, on the other hand, details very little about Neusiok lifeways or political structure.
