Tuscarora Tribe

The Tuscarora are a Native American tribe originally from the southeastern United States, primarily North Carolina. They are part of the Iroquois Confederacy (Haudenosaunee) and migrated north in the 18th century due to conflicts and European colonization. Today, the Tuscarora mainly reside in North Carolina and New York, maintaining their cultural traditions, language, and history. They have a strong community identity and are involved in efforts to preserve their heritage, land, and sovereignty. The tribe’s name means "He separates" or "The Shirt Wearers," reflecting their cultural symbols and history.
