THESE FOLKS WERE SIOUAN PEOPLE. THEIR NAME WAS ALSO AS SHACCOREE. THEY WERE RECORDED FIRST IN 1654 AS PEOPLE OF SMALLER STATURE AND NUMBER. THEY WERE UNABLE TO AVOID THE TUSCARORA. THEIR VILLAGES WERE LOCATED IN HILLBOROUGH ALONG THE ENO RIVER. THEY MADE WIGWAMS OUT OF INTERWOVEN SAPLINGS AND STICKS COVERED WITH MUD, AS OPPOSED TO THE TYPICAL DWELLINGS MADE OF BARK BY NEARBY TRIBES. MEN PLAYED A SLING STONE GAME, SIMILAR TO CHUNKY. THE SHAKORI, SISSPAHAW, AND ENU ALL MERGED INTO ONE TRIBE IN THE 1700'S. THEY JOINED AGAINST THE COLONISTS AND IT IS LIKELY THEY INTERMARRIED. THIS TRIBE IS NOW EXTINCT.
