Despite all of the sit downs and treaties, relocating to reservations, and being stripped of their dignity as they were forced to rely on the distribution of government annuities, the end result was bloodshed. The Native Americans were not valued as human beings much less the rightful owners of the land in which US troops viciously killed…

    The most recent theory is that archaeologists believe that the Roanoke people divided into two groups and absorbed into the Native American culture. The first group went to Cape Creek and the other group went 50 miles northwest of Roanoke. In 1998, archaeologists found some very interesting things on their journey. When archaeologists went to Cape Creek they found a ring that dates back to the 16th century, a slate with a pencil beside it, and other items that could not have come from the Native Americans, because they lacked the resources. The other group used one of John White’s maps to come to conclude that they were 50 miles northwest of Roanoke.…
