Historically, after the Tuscarora War ended in North Carolina, the Tuscarora Nation were adopted in 1722 by the Oneida Nation in New York. The tribal ancestors of this Tuscarora Band of Six Nations Indians were the historic Tuscarora Treaty Signers with the United States Government and were federally acknowledged as Tuscarora Chiefs before the United States who were also identified our historical Tuscarora Chiefs of the Haudenosaunee Six Nations Iroquois Confederacy. As a tribal democratic government, the Tuscarora pre-dates the United States Constitution. The Tuscarora were the largest First Nation in North Carolina which had many village bands and towns during colonial times.
In what is now called the State of North Carolina, our Tuscarora ancestors were successful in evolution over time to gain primacy among their neighbors and survived in isolated tribal community settlements and reservations in North Carolina, New York, and Canada. The Tuscarora Band of Six Nations Indians are comprised of both the North Carolina Tuscarora who remained; and the Six Nations Tuscarora Indians from New York. As one governing body in North Carolina, the Tuscarora Band of Six Nations Indians shall remain together as a First Nation on our ancestral Tuscarora lands.
Today, the enrolled Skarù:ręˀ Citizens of the Tuscarora Band of Six Nations Indians, like their tribal ancestors, are still part of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, and we, the Tuscarora Band of Six Nations Indians operate with a location in North Carolina on the same lands our Iroquois ancestors historically occupied, while many of our Tuscarora and Six Nations relations also live in New York and Canada. The Tuscarora Band of Six Nations Indians' unique Federal Indian Tribal Status as a sovereign governing body is also upheld by the federal law pursuant to the 1934 Indian Reorganization Act (IRA) as “Federal Indians Under Federal Jurisdiction” in accordance to the June 1, 1934 IRA - Indian Reservation Residence of our direct federal Indian Six Nations Tuscarora bloodlines confirmed with the United States Department of Interior-Bureau of Indian Affairs.
