Catawba, Saponi, Melungeon

"If you ever try to unravel the mystery of the Eastern Siouan you will find it is a story steeped in mystery, lore, legend, and downright fantasy. So where do you turn to for the truth? They left no written language; there are no long-lost scrolls or tablets. In order to unravel this story, one must turn to archeology, recorded history and the research of others." -Chief Jamie Lightwalker Harris, New River Catawba "Catawba, Saponi, Melungeon chronicles the migration of the Eastern Siouan peoples, explaining how their descendants ended up being stuck with a "non-Native" label that would take centuries to peel away. This book is a must read for anyone who seriously wants to know who was here before the whole southeast became Scots Irish and 'Cherokee'." -Darlene Franklin Campbell, author of Uncommon Clay, I Listened, Momma, and Touched.
