Santee. A tribe, probably Siouan, for- 

 merly residing on middle Santee r., S. C., 

 where Lawson in 1700 found their plan- 

 tations extending for many miles. One 

 of their villages was called Hickerau. 

 While friendly to the white people, they 

 were at war with the coast tribes. Ac- 

 cording to Rivers (Hist. S. C, 94, 1874), 

 they had two villages with 4.3 warriors in 

 1715, and were then settled 70 m. n. of 

 Charleston. Bartram (Trav., 54, 1791) 

 tells us that in 1715 they sided with the 

 Yamasee against the British , and that they 

 were attacked and reduced by the Creeks, 

 who were allies of the British. It appears 

 from South Carolina colonial documents 

 that the Santee and Congeree were cut 

 off by the "Itwans and Cossaboys," coast 

 tribes in the English interest, and the 

 prisoners sold as slaves in the West 

 Indies in 1716. Those that escaped 

 were probably incorporated with the 

 Catawba. Lawson states that their 

 chief was an absolute ruler with power 

 of life and death over his tribe, an in- 

 stance of despotism very rare among 

 Indians. Their distinguished dead were 

 buried on the tops of mounds, built low 

 or high according to the rank of the 

 deceased, with ritlge roofs supported by 

 poles over the graves to shelter them from 

 the weather. On these poles were hung 

 rattles, feathers, and other offerings from 

 the relatives of the deceased. The 

 corpse of an ordinary person was care- 

 fully dressed, wrapped in bark, and ex- 

 posed on a platform for several days, dur- 

 ing which time oneof hisnearest kinsmen, 

 with face blackened in token of grief, 

 stood guard near the spot and chanted a 



mournfuleulogy of the dead. Theground 

 around the platform was kept carefully 

 swept, and all the dead man's belongings — 

 gun, bow, and feather robes — were placed 

 near by. As soon as the flesh had soft- 

 ened it was stripped from the bones and 

 burned, and the bones themselves were 

 cleaned, the skull being wrapped sepa- 

 rately in a cloth woven of opossum hair. 

 The bones were then put into a box, from 

 which they were taken out annually to 

 be again cleaned and oiled. In this way 

 some families had in their possession the 

 bones of their ancestors for several gen- 

 erations. Places where warriors had been 

 killed were sometimes distinguished by 

 piles of stones or sticks, to which every 

 passing Indian added another. After 

 the manner of the Cherokee and other 

 Southern tribes the Santee kept corn in 

 storehouses raised on posts and plastered 

 with clay. They made beautiful feather 

 robes and wove cloth and sashes of hair.

 In 1909 the number officially reported was 

 only 5, the remainder evidently having 

 received patents for their lands and 

 become citizens. In 1877 Gatschet was 

 able to learn of 4 bands, Chamifu, Chan- 

 champenau, Chanchantu, and Chantkaip, 

 which had formerly existed in the tribe.
