THIS IS A SMALL TRIBE LIVING IN NORTH CAROLINA AND IS AFFILIATED WITH THE TUTELO, SAPONI. THEY MAY HAVE BELONGED TO THE SIOUAN FAMILY. IN 1701 THEY WERE IN PALISADED VILLAGES NEAR GULFORD COUNTY , NORTH CAROLINA. THEY GREW FIELDS OF CORN. AN UNUSUAL CUSTOM WAS THAT THE MALES GREW MUSTACHES. THE KEYAWEE JOINED THE TUTOO FOR BETTER PROTECTION AGAINST ENEMIES. LATER THEY WERE JOINED TWO OTHER TRIBES AND IN TOTAL THEY HAD 750 FOLKS . BY 1761 THEY DISAPPEARED FROM HISTORY, AND WERE ABSORBED BY CATAWBA.
