View Full Version : Chikamaka rolls?  vance hawkins 03-24-2003,
04:06 PM  AT the website above is a list of what are called the
"Chikanaka Rolls" -- I have never heard of these rolls before.
But some names on these rolls are listed as "Saponi-Cherokee".
Does anyone recognize these names?   03-24-2003, 04:30 PM I'm
not sure what, if any, basis there would be for identifying any
of those folks as Saponi. The problem is that most of the names
people claim as "Saponi" are simply common names found among
whites and African-Americans, as well as Indian descendants.  I
have to say, without making any value judgement about this
particular group, that there are a number of web sites out there
claiming to be tribal websites with VERY shaky historical data,
that should be taken with more than just a grain of salt.  vance

as much :).  Since several members of that group were listed as
"Saponi" or "Saponi-Cherokee" I thought I'd bring it to yall's
attention
