Native American Tribes series.
Croatan
The designation in North Carolina for a people of mixed Indian and white blood, found in the coastal areas of the state. For many years they were classed with the free blacks, but steadily refused to accept such classification, claiming to be the descendants of the early native tribes and of white settlers who had intermarried with them. They may have been a branch of the larger Roanoke tribe or allied with them. Now extinct as a tribe, they were one of the Carolina Algonquian peoples, numerous at the time of English encounter in the 16th century. The Roanoke territory also extended to the mainland, where they had their chief town on the western shore of Croatan Sound.
