Thank you for your inquiry.

Thank you for your inquiry. Your question is a very complex one. If you are looking for information about North Carolina's early history, there is information about American Indians in North Carolina before the colonists came on the pages linked here: http://ncpedia.org/history/early.

Other pages that may help include: http://ncpedia.org/history/colonial/coastal-plain and http://ncpedia.org/history/colonial/piedmont. There is a little in those articles about how the land effected how North Carolina was settled.

Please email Reference Services at the Government & Heritage Library with more details about your question. It may be helpful for them to know if there is a time period (certain years) you are studying and if you are studying American Indians, European settlers, or another group of people. Their email address is slnc.reference@ncdcr.gov and other contact information about them may be found at http://statelibrary.ncdcr.gov/reference/reference.html.

Good luck in your research!
