THE SUGAREE LIVED ON LITTLE SUGAREE CREEK USING THE WATER FOR SURVIVAL. THEY LIVED HERE AT LEAST 200 HUNDRED YEARS AGO. IT IS A SMALL TRIBE THAT LIVED NEAR MECKLEBURG COUNTY IN NORTH CAROLINA AND IN YORK COUNTY, SOUTH CAROLINA. THEY SPOKE SIOUAN. THEY OCCUPIED A FERTILE DISTRICT. AFTER THE YAMSEE WAR IN 1915. THEY WERE GREATLY REDUCED AND MERGED WITH CATAWBA.
BEFORE EUROPEANS ARRIVED IN NORTH CAROLINA HAD MANY TRIBES WHO SHARED CULTURAL TRAITS, THEY HAD THREE MAJOR LANGUAGE FAMILIES WHO WERE IN NORTH CAROLINA WHO WERE RELATED TO THE THE IROQUOIS TRIBES TO THE NORTH.
THEY HUNTED DEER RABBITS, AND OTHER ANIMALS, CAUGHT FISH IN THE RIVERS. THESE SUGAREE INDIANS SMOKED MARAJUANA, COCAINE AND INDIAN TOBACCO TO ENGAGE IN VISIONS. THE FACT THAT THE EUROPEANS WERE BROUGHT UP IN A CHRISTIAN BELIEF SYSTEM MADE THEM VERY DIFFERENT THAN NATIVE AMERICAN RELIGION.
