The history of South Carolina is inseparable from the history of our Native American tribes. Today, I joined tribal leaders as they signed a first-of-its-kind treaty that strengthens tribal unity and the preservation of Native American culture in South Carolina.

When the French, Spanish, and English settlers began arriving in South Carolina over 450 years ago, there were around two dozen groups or “tribes” of indigenous peoples, or Native Americans, residing in the Lowcountry.
Currently, a number of tribes are officially recognized.
