The Catawba were among the East Coast tribes who made selective alliances with some of the early European colonists, when these colonists agreed to help them in their ongoing conflicts with other tribes. These were primarily the tribes of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
