Congaree Indians
The Congaree Indians were a small tribe of South Carolina, relatives of the
Catawba Indians.
Few records remain of the Congaree language, but it was probably a Siouan language like Catawba.
The Congarees were defeated in a war with South Carolina colonists, and the survivors took refuge
with the Catawba tribe, where most Congaree descendants live today.
