Some good information with sources included has just hit the forum. It has its own thread, but I thought I’d paste in a link here, to associate it with other good sources — about where the Saponi were, when, and what they were doing there. It’s helpfully noted that this particular Saponi historic site (of 1749) is also in one of the NC State Parks.

Hi all. The information came from my friend, Sara Whitford, whose Coastal Carolina Center website has historical research that may interest many of you here. The Coastal Carolina Indian Center website is:

Interesting indeed, I was looking at this material some months ago and posting about it here on the forum.

Came across this on another list. It’s part of a Gutenberg ebook project, very interesting. There’s links from here to them. I’d like to see what else they’ve got done and in the works.

Linda, thank you for posting this. It has been in my mental lookup list. I didn’t know it was online. It saves so much time having it given to you.
Reading the end material they say they welcome corrections and keep putting out corrected volumes. They say there’s a later one of this but I haven’t located it. Perhaps doing World-Cat searches of ethnologists known to write on the peoples we’re interested in, we could come up with writings we could suggest to Gutenberg for transcription. I did World-Cat searches on ‘Tutelo’ last winter; the list is long of archived materials, and some recordings I think. But you have to wonder if you’re missing something important because of different spellings and names of peoples. That’s why I’m thinking of the ethnologist’s searches. Like I’d entered Dorsey in Google Book and was surprised and excited to find he’d transcribed Ofo-Biloxi. I was familiar with his work as we relied heavily on his Omaha work in the classes I took. Just last names off the top of my head, James Owen Dorsey, Hale, Byrd, & Speck. 🙂 Thanks again I look forward to studying this writing.
There are lots of original sources posted here for those of us who have MD ancestors: http://www.midatlanticarchives.com/. I was reading the listing of MD wills. Interesting – someone’s first name is Indinan.

I like this site because it has some good information on the cherwas and peedee Indians, those that are often elusive but I feel have a role in my family line somehow.

Hey Melungeon! I was going over some old posts and came across yours. This is very interesting-well worth bringing out for others that may have missed it like me. Thanks~^~Greydove
Pappy,
Thanks for bringing my attention back to this thread, I had forgot…
Linda, could this one be made sticky? Thanks.

lol…my mistake:o It is not the first time I have overlooked something that was right under my nose…I have a tendency to always dig deep, even if what I have been looking for is quite near the surface…thanks Linda

Do any of you read this site?
http://indiancountrytodaymedianetwork.com/
Particularly on Saponi info:

There is a section where the Berenstain Bears has been translated into Dakota–it would fun to do a Saponi translation.
