EMERGENCE OF A ROBUST TOWN
SAPONI INDIANS. The Dudley-Lynch family shown here is part of the Haliwa-Saponi tribe. The Saponis were the first inhabitants of the land now known as Lexington, North Carolina. They, along with related Siouans, Tutelos, Occaneechis, and others are thought to have originated in the Ohio River Valley. The Siouans split into several groups, many going north and west, others migrating south into what is now North Carolina and Virginia. They called themselves Yesah (the People) and various derivations of that word. They were fearsome warriors and specialized traders. Traditionally the Saponis were woodland people subsisting through hunting, gathering, fishing, and farming. Only a few dozen words have been recorded from the Saponi language, one of which is Junkatapurse, which means horse head.
When the colonists started arriving, bringing war and illness, many Saponis left and went west to join other bands that were their allies. (Courtesy of Marty Richardson, Haliwa-Saponi tribe.)
HUNTING DEER. The Native Americans were keen hunters. The braves shown here on the left side of the river were carefully disguised under deer pelts. They would try and mix with feeding deer so they would be able to bring down their prey at close range. The meat was used to make stew and mixed with vegetables and nuts. (Courtesy of the North Carolina State Department of Archives.)
VILLAGE. Fortified villages were built by Native Americans who came to this area in 1550. These Native Americans, known as Invaders,
drove the original Piedmont Indians north. The villages they constructed were surrounded by pine poles and also equipped with watchtowers. About 100 years later, the original Siouan tribes returned to the area and reclaimed their land. (Courtesy of the North Carolina State Department of Archives.)
PERCY RICHARDS. Vice-Chief Percy Richardson’s photograph was taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s. The ceremonial dress shown here is not traditional regalia per se, but rather a plains-style outfit, which is what most of the chiefs began wearing in the 1960s. (Courtesy of Marty Richardson Haliwa-Saponi Tribe.)
NATIVE AMERICAN WOMAN. This 1907 postcard was sent from a Lexington admirer to Searles Owen. The card shows a Native American woman of unknown origin. The women in a tribe were traditionally responsible for preparing the food and taking care of the children. They also made pottery from crushed quartz mixed with clay. They would make coils from the clay and shape them into pots. Fabric would be placed on the outside of the wet pot to imprint a design into the clay. These pots were used for cooking stews and storing corn, beans, and water. (Courtesy of the Davidson County Historical
