Description

The Nottoway Indians are American tribe in Virginia. Historically, the Nottoway spoke an Iroquoian language, Nottoway, and were related to other Iroquoian speakers.
The Nottoway Indian Tribe of Virginia live from Southampton County into Surry County and the Tidewater region,[1] and the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe live in Southampton County in their traditional tribal territory called Cattashowrock Town in Courtland.[2] Since colonial times, treaties by regional government with the Nottoway attested to their presence as a distinct people.
The Nottoway Indian Tribe of Virginia and the Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Tribe are distinct, with separate identities. Each of the contemporary tribes received state recognition in February 2010.[3][4] They were among several Virginia tribes that were deprived of their land during the colonial era and their records were distorted during the early 20th century. The Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) Indian Tribe has filed their letter of intent to petition for federal recognition and hope to receive federal recognition soon.
