Formerly called
Indians of Person County[3]
The Sappony are a state-recognized tribe in North Carolina.[2] They claim descent from the historic Saponi people, an Eastern Siouan language-speaking tribe who occupied the Piedmont of North Carolina and Virginia.
They were previously called the Indians of Person County.[3] They are based in Roxboro,[1] the seat of Person County, North Carolina.
The Sappony are not federally recognized as a Native American tribe[2] and have never petitioned for federal recognition.[4][5]
