Abstract:
Tom Blunt, was King or head Chief of the North Carolina branch of the Tuscarora tribe. He lived in the Upper Towns in Gates County, NC. He is credited for minimizing the Tuscarora War in North Carolina in 1711-1713. After the war, the NC Council recognized his faithfulness and good service and made him Chief of all Indians south of the Pamlico River. In 1717, the NC Council let the Tuscarora’s settle into a reservation north of the Roanoke River in present day Bertie County. Blunt died sometime before March 5, 1739. After his death, the Tuscarora nation petitioned the North Carolina Council to elect a new king.

Menatonon, King of the Chowanoac Indians, was described as being infirm when Gov. Ralph Lane explored the Chowan River region in 1586. He and his son, Skiko, were held as hostages as Lane and his mem explored the region. Menatonon told Lane of many things and knew the English were looking for gold and pearls. He told them about a mine called ’Chaunis Temoatan’ that had a red mineral called ‘wassador.’ A journey up the Roanoke River was aborted leaving the mineral (believed to be copper) a mystery.

Abstract:
The history of Hatteras Island has been difficult to tell, mainly due to its small populations, remote and isolated geography, and self-reliant people. However, accounts by John Lawson who traveled the area between 1707 and 1709, record a historically significant Hatteras Ind. Town. Lawson attempted to preserve the pieces of culture he encountered, as well as connect them to the loss of the Colony of Roanoke.

Abstract:
Living on scattered tracts of the Cherokee Band, 247 Indians took refuge in the Smoky Mountains after white chief and benefactor, Colonel W. H. Thomas, bought property for the Cherokees. The land purchase was not contiguous; other tracts are located in the Qualla boundary in Swain and Jackson Counties, as well as tribal lands in Cherokee and Graham Counties. In Graham, the Snowbird Indians have lived on these tribal lands for centuries, the most noted of them a chief named Junaluska.
