 Between 1680 & 1701, the region also played host to the Saponi, Tutelo, Occaneechi Keyauwee, Shakori & Sissipahaw (possibly among others), who had been driven out of the state by an invasion of the Iroquois Confederacy.Most of these tribes later returned to Virginia, where they came to be collectively known as the Eastern Blackfoots, or Christannas.Most of all other Siouan tribes of the Carolinas slowly merged and were all thought of as subtribes of the Catawba Nation by the American Revolution.
