I don’t understand why they thought they were missing when they literally wrote where they were going on a tree

The native Americans have been telling historians forever that they took those people in. No one believed them. Bunch of BS

The museum there has a book they let kids write their theories in and this one was my favorite.

Shouldn’t the dna be traceable today among the native people?

As a central VA kid, we were in US history class saying "They LITERALLY said where they went in a pre-aranged worst case scenario agreement yet they still called them lost.....?"

The Lumbee tribe of North Carolina claims to be descended from the Roanoke settlers.

I remember reading in 8th grade (I'm 39) an article about future settlers encountering blue eyed native children in the Roanoke/Manteo area. I remember thinking "oh, that explains that mystery."

Growing up in North Carolina, I remember them teaching it’s about the lost colony in school. I also remember thinking it was pretty damn obvious they went to live with the Croatoans.

Instant follow 👍🏼👍🏼 I have always been fascinated with the Roanoke colony. This year my son and I visited the island and went to the Elizabethan Botanical Gardens. We got to see a live oak that would have been a sapling at that time. Thanks for sharing this 😊

I’m live in NC. Been on both Roanoke and Hatteras. Have heard this theory and believe it. It is also suggested around here that the Lumbee are descendants of the mixed race of Croatoan and English. Only speaking what I’ve heard.
