Context and resources
Refuge, Place And Continuity
The Tribe's history describes Waccamaw peoples seeking refuge in North Carolina swamplands after conflict with South Carolina. Its own introduction locates its communities mainly in Bladen and Columbus Counties on the edge of Green Swamp. This is the Tribe's retrospective account of place and continuity, not an exhaustive ancestral boundary or an assertion that all Waccamaw peoples are one government.
