Catawba People
The Catawba, also known as Issa, Essa or Iswä but most commonly ''Iswa'' (Catawba: '' Ye Iswąˀ'' – "people of the river"), are a federally recognized tribe of Native Americans, known as the Catawba Indian Nation. Their current lands are in South Carolina, on the Catawba River, near the city of Rock Hill. Their territory once extended into North Carolina, as well, and they still have legal claim to some parcels of land in that state. They were once considered one of the most powerful Southeastern tribes in the Carolina Piedmont, as well as one of the most powerful tribes in the South as a whole, with other, smaller tribes merging into the Catawba as their post-contact numbers dwindled due to the effects of colonization on the region. 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 o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Catawba (grape)
Catawba is a red American grape variety used for wine as well as juice, jams and jellies. The grape can have a pronounced musky or " foxy" flavor.J. Robinson, ''Vines, Grapes & Wines'', pg 228, Mitchell Beazley, 1986, Grown predominantly on the East Coast of the United States, this purplish-red grape is a likely cross of the native American '' Vitis labrusca'' and the ''Vitis vinifera'' cultivar Semillon. Its exact origins are unclear but it seems to have originated somewhere on the East coast from the Carolinas to Maryland. Catawba played an important role in the early history of American wine. During the early to mid-19th century, it was the most widely planted grape variety in the country and was the grape behind Nicholas Longworth's acclaimed Ohio sparkling wines that were distributed as far away as California and Europe. Catawba is a late-ripening variety, ripening often weeks after many other ''labrusca'' varieties and, like many ''vinifera'' varieties, it can be suscep ...
