Tutelo.

The Tutelo were a northern Siouan people who came into the present-day Virginia piedmont from the upper Ohio Valley. The meaning of the name is unknown; it was probably taken from a southern Indian language by the Iroquois. They were also known as Katteras or Shateras. In 1671, English explorers visited a Tutelo village, Shamokin, near present-day Salem, Virginia. By the beginning of the eighteenth century, the tribe had moved itself to an island in the Roanoke River, near the junction of the Stanton and Dan, and shortly thereafter to the headwaters of the Yadkin River in western North Carolina, where they were able to hunt elk and bison.
