Well before the arrival of Europeans in North America, the Tuscarora had migrated south and settled in the region now known as Eastern [[The Carolinas|Carolina]]. The most numerous [[indigenous people]] in the area, they lived along the [[Roanoke River|Roanoke]], [[Neuse River|Neuse]], [[Tar River|Tar]] (''Torhunta'' or ''Narhontes''), and [[Pamlico]] rivers. <ref name="F.W.

After the 18th-century wars of 1711–1713 (known as the [[Tuscarora War]]) against English colonists and their Indian allies, most of the surviving Tuscarora left North Carolina and migrated north to [[Pennsylvania]] and New York, over a period of 90 years. They aligned with the [[Iroquois]] in New York, because of their ancestral linguistic and cultural connections. Sponsored by the [[Oneida tribe|Oneida]], they were accepted in 1722 as the Sixth Nation of the Iroquois. After the [[American Revolution]], in which they and the Oneida allied with the colonists, the Tuscarora shared reservation land with the Oneida before gaining their own. The [[Tuscarora Nation of New York]] is federally recognized. |
