Catawba people
The names of many subtribes of the Cusabo and Catawba people may be recognized among the provinces that were described by Francisco de Chicora, a native who was kidnapped from the Pee Dee River area by Spanish in 1521. He was taken by the expedition back to Spain, where he learned Spanish. His "Testimony of Francisco de Chicora" was recorded by the court chronicler Peter Martyr and published in 1525. n 1526, Lucas Vázquez de Ayllón's party visited this area and recorded some names.
