The Saponi are a Native American tribe historically based in the Piedmont of North Carolina and Virginia.[4] They spoke a Siouan language,[3] related to the languages of the Tutelo, Biloxi, and Ofo.[4]
They were part of the Monacan confederacies.[5] Saponi, Tutelo, and Yesang were collectively called the Nahyssan.[5] The Cayuga adopted the Saponi into the League of the Haudenosaunee in 1753, and some Saponi descendants are part of the Cayuga Nation.[1][6]
