Page "Cherokee" Paragraph 15

Other historians hold that, judging from linguistic and cultural data, the Tuscarora people migrated South from other Iroquoian-speaking people in the Great Lakes region in ancient times.

In the 1700s, the Tuscarora left the Southeast and " returned " to the New York area by 1722 because of warfare in the southern region.

The Tuscarora were admitted by the Iroquois as the Sixth Nation of their political confederacy.
