Cheraw
The Cheraw people, also known as the Saraw or Saura,〔 were a Siouan-speaking tribe of indigenous people of the Southeastern Woodlands,〔 in the Piedmont area of North Carolina near the Sauratown Mountains, east of Pilot Mountain and north of the Yadkin River. They lived in villages near the Catawba River.〔Rudes ''et al.'' 310〕 Their first European and African contact was with the Hernando De Soto Expedition in 1540. The early explorer John Lawson included them in the larger eastern-Siouan confederacy, which he called "the Esaw Nation."〔''Handbook of the American Indian North of Mexico'', 1906 〕
After attacks in the late 17th century and early 18th century, they moved to the southeast around the Pee Dee River, where the Cheraw name became more widely used. They became extinct as a tribe, although some descendants survived as remnant peoples.
==Name==
Originally known as the Saraw, they became known by the name of one of their villages, Cheraw.〔Demallie 296〕 They are also known as the Charáh, Charrows, Charra, Charaws, Charraws, Chara,〔Rules 316〕 Sara, Saura, Suali, Sualy, Xualla, and Xuala. The name they called themselves is lost to history but the Cherokee called them ''Ani-suwa'ii'' and the Catawba ''Sara'' ("place of tall weeds"). The Spanish and Portuguese called their territory ''Xuala'' (or Xualla).
The early English records of South Carolina refer to the Saura, spelled "Saraw", a few times.
