Native Indians in a desperate attempt of survival. These two carving on the trees, in fact, are one of the few pieces of evidence that the colonists actually left behind. A second piece of evidence supporting this theory can be found in an article by Stella Novus, posted on Ancient Origins. According to this article, a tribe of Croatan Indians currently residing in North Carolina claim to be descended from an American Indian tribe, and since they look English, and some of the tribe members have…

I found myself interested in researching the effects and therapeutic techniques for trauma and loss. My curiosity in these areas of study sparked from my…
