Shakori

They were thought to be a Siouan people, closely allied with other nearby tribes such as the Eno and the Sissipahaw.

Their villages were located around what is now Hillsborough, North Carolina along the banks of the Eno and Shocco rivers.

They made their wigwams and other structures out of interwoven saplings and sticks; these were covered in mud as opposed to the bark typically used by other nearby tribes.

Although they merged into remnants of other tribes and the larger Catawba, their Siouan dialect survived as late as 1743 among the Eno.

[2] Although their origins are uncertain, the Shakori were among the Siouan-speaking tribes found in the Piedmont area of numerous southern states.
