Course Title: (HIS130) BUT WHO WERE THE ESCAMACU AND THE YAMASEE?

This is an OLLI Digital Library recording and is available to view until December 31, 2025.

This course will discuss what the Indigenous world during Hilton Head's colonial history looked like. After the Spanish invasion of the Port Royal Sound between 1521 and 1587, Native people from here to the Caribbean experienced what archaeologists called societal shattering. This talk will explain what happened to the people who lived here first, who and why the Yamasee moved here at the end of the 1600s, and how their time ended in one of the bloodiest conflicts in American history nobody knows about.
