Land Acknowledgement

We want to acknowledge that we, the Robert Lunz Group of the Sierra Club (Berkeley, Charleston, Colleton and Dorchester Counties), work and live on lands once belonging to more than a dozen distinct groups of Native Americans whose existence is now evident in the familiar place names  including: Ashepoo, Awendaw/Sewee, Bohicket, Catawba, Combahee, Coosa, Edisto, Etiwan, Kiawah, PeeDee, Shem (named by Sewee Tribe), Stono, Wando, Wappoo, Wassamasaw and Winyah. Disease, warfare and displacement led to the extinction of most of these groups by the middle of the eighteenth century. Shell mound evidence indicates that Native Americans were present in the lowcountry as long as 4,000 years ago. Their presence has continued to the present day including the Catawba, PeeDee, Wassamasaw, Edisto and Winyah tribes. The Wassamasaw have applied for Federal recognition.  The Catawba Nation is the only Federally recognized tribe in South Carolina. A Native American Ceremonial Center is located in the Charles Towne Landing State Historic Park.
