Saponi of North Carolina[edit | edit source]
The term Saponi or Sappony has been applied to three contemporary groups of people in North Carolina:
- The Sappony, formerly known as the Indians of Person County, formally recognized by the State of North Carolina in 1911.
- The Haliwa-Saponi, primarily based in Halifax County and formally recognized by the State of North Carolina in 1965.
- The Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation was formally recognized by the State of North Carolina after a court battle which ended in 2001.
