Talk on "The Elusive Cheraw Indians of SC" with Christopher Judge

The Cheraw Indians of the Carolinas were an important entity in the Colonial era. In this lecture, Judge will discuss an ethnohistoric process to identify the cultural aliation of two individuals interred at the Johannes Kolb Site in Darlington County, South Carolina. He traces the movement of the Cheraw across the Piedmont of North Carolina and ultimately to the Great Pee Dee River and beyond in an attempt to write a brief history for these two people.
