Searching for Saponi Town forum for Eastern Blackfoot / Eastern Siouan descendants

We're a group of people descended from the allegedly "extinct" Eastern Siouan people who lived in the Piedmont of VA and NC up until colonial times. Dispersed but not destroyed.

Let's pool our research. The best material we'll promote to articles or post on Saponi Town webpages.

Feel free to go ahead and get into all the begats here. Surnames, dates, locations, etc. Also post inquiries. We're hoping to establish an open book which will help us all to further our research.

This is a spot for talking about anything that comes to mind. No need to stay "on topic."

Felicia and I, Linda Carter, are working on an outdoor drama about the generation preceding the massacre at Occoneechee Island, and the generation after. We will be bringing forward some of the characters we've 'found" and introducing them here. Written by Felicia Cegelski & Linda Carter, artwork by Linda Carter. ©2008

This topic can get pretty heated. There's a lot to hash out, in this rapidly changing landscape.

This is the place to share your research into the material culture of our ancestors, and/or just show off your latest craft project.

Let's have some fun here.

Spilledi is a very talented young lady who makes up languages if she doesn't have a new one to learn. Working with Tutelo she's doing a little of both.

Events from all over that should prove to be of interest to Yésah descendants.
