NC: Nooherooka 300th Commemoration

 Hope I'm wrong, but it's probably a Left-of-Lenin feel good conference about how the Tuscaroras were wonderful and the whites evil.


  

My sixth great grandfather, his wife, and five of his six children were killed in battle with the Tuscarora Indians at Core Creek, NC.

Neyuheruke 300 is the official commemoration of a tragic battle that occurred on March 21-23, 1713—thirty miles from East Carolina University. The commemoration is a collaborative venture  between the University and the sovereign Tuscarora Nation now located in the State of New York. East Carolina University’s campus is located at the heart of what was for a thousand years the Tuscarora homeland.

  1. I am really excited about attending this event but as a NC tuscarora citizen I wish that ECU would have extended an invite to more local native Americans. Our youth needs to be included in free events like this.
