They live in the Southeast United States, along the border of North Carolina near the city of Rock Hill, South Carolina.  The Catawba were once considered one of the most powerful Southeastern Siouan-speaking tribes in the Carolina Piedmont.  The Catawba and other Siouan peoples are believed to have coalesced as individual tribes in the Southeast.  Living along the Catawba River they were named one of the most powerful tribes in the south. [PAR] [TLE] History of Cary, North Carolina [SEP] Native Americans had been inhabiting the area that is today known as Cary for thousands of years prior to the arrival of Europeans.  When the English colonists arrived in the Piedmont region of North Carolina, they encountered the Sissipahaw, Eno, and Shakori.  Unfortunately, little knowledge remains of these people, but it is believed that their numbers were greatly reduced due to smallpox epidemics and military conflicts with settlers.  It is assumed that they were absorbed by the Catawba people, who still live in North Carolina and South Carolina.
