The Eno, Shoccoree, and Adshusheer Indians

The Eno, Shoccoree, and Adshusheer tribes are often grouped together due to their close associations. While the Eno and Shoccoree’s linguistic and ethnic affiliations are unclear, they were known for their distinct physical characteristics and habits. By 1720, these tribes had largely disappeared, merging with neighboring groups. Early documentation from travelers like Yardley and Lederer noted their unique lifestyle, governance, and engagements with other tribes, including conflicts with the Tuskarora. By the 18th century, remnants of these tribes were absorbed into the Catawba nation.
