The survival of many Indians in North Carolina after the Tuscarora War 1711-1713, were solidified by creating isolated Indigenous communities as Indian settlements during the colonial and revolution time periods into the Civil War at which some distinct isolation communities in North Carolina maintained their Tribal Sovereignty, tribal oral histories, Indigenous identity, and existence as First Nations People to the present day despite the political extermination period for the Native American Indian.
Here, we review one band of Tuscaroras who historically migrated into the swamps of Bladen County, North Carolina from their Tuscarora Territory in northeastern North Carolina during the colonial time period from 1752 through 1778. In 1787, the county was divided into two and Robeson County was created from the parent Bladen County at which their direct lineal tribal descendants still continue to live on the same land granted to their ancestors to the present day in North Carolina.
