THE NAME OF KEYAUWEE IS NOT CONNECTED WITH KECOUEE TOWN OF THE CHEROKEE IN SOUTH CAROLINA. THEY APPARENTLY SPOKE SIOUN, BUT NO ONE DOES NOW. THEY WERE NOT A PROMINENT TRIBE. IN 1700 THEY LIVED IN A PALISADED VILLAGE BEYOND UHARIE RIVER AND NEAR DEEP RIVER. IT WAS A BASIN ENCLOSED BY HIGH HILLS. THEY GROW LARGE HILLS OF CORN. THEY HAVE ABOUT AS MANY FOLKS AS THE SAPONI. THEIR CHIEF.WAS A CONGOREE, BUT MARRIED THE QUEEN.THEIR MEN WORE MUSTACHES. THEY CAREFULLY PRESERVED THE BONES TAKEN OUT OF THEIR MEAT. THEY ATE AND AFTERWARD BURNED THEM. THIS GAVE THEM MORE SUCCESS IN HUNTING. THEY JOINED THE TUTELO AND SAPONI FOR GREATER PROTECTION AGAINST THE ENEMIES. IN 1714 750 SOULS OF THE KEYAUWEE, THE SAPONI, THE TUTALO, AND OCCEONEECHI, AND SHOCCOREE MOVED TO A SETTLEMENT NEAR ABLEMARLE SOUND. AROUND 1733 THESE TRIBES MOVED SOUTH WITH THE ENO TO PEEDEE RIVER. THEY MAY HAVE ALL BEEN INCORPORATED INTO THE CATAWBA.
