Native American
Entities Reference Files
The Native American Studies Archive actively seeks to
continually add new material. Contemporary scholarship alongside new finds in
recently digitized materials continue to increase our growing knowledge and
understanding of Native American History in South Carolina and the Southeastern
United States. Journal articles, clippings, photographs, and tribal
correspondence and newsletters comprise this collection.
These files are very much a work in progress. It is hoped that South Carolina tribal members and leaders
will send us copies of tribal newsletters and other archival materials for
inclusion in these materials.
For any questions or possible corrections, please email the archivist: wbburgin@sc.edu
