Sewee Tribe
The Sewee Indians were a small tribe of South Carolina, allies of the
Cheraw tribe.
Their language was never well recorded, but may have been a member of the
Siouan
language family, similar to Cheraw. After colonization, the Sewees were devastated by European
diseases, warfare, and a disaster at sea. Most of the survivors merged together with the neighboring
Catawba tribe, where
their descendants still live today.
