Great collaboration between a credible and thorough local historian and international experts. Congratulations, Scott Dawson, on adding fascinating detail to American history.
All around that area is a ship graveyard, the coast of North Carolina has had activity on it for over 600 years. The stuff they are digging up could literally be from anyone.
I think the Roanoke group splintered for one reason or another. I also think that glass, copper and other artifacts could have come from sources other the Roanoke settlers. Without actually encountering the Roanoke settlers, Native Americans could have obtained Old World items from the Roanoke settlement through trade or discovery. I tend to believe a sizeable number of the colonists were assimilated into Native American cultural groups that lived in the Hatteras area.
It wasn't really a failure he wasn't able to turn return due to the Spanish English War for 3 years long before then they probably thought they were abandoned and I believe the vast majority of them survived despite the fact that the local Chief said he had all of them put to death
A dozen of the last names of the original settlers have ages ago been discovered among the Lumbee Indiana in Lumberton and Pembroke, North Carolina, where they remain today. Your story is incomplete.
No mention of the 28 carved stone tablets and the tomb of Eleanor Dare that were left over a track of several hundred miles while fleeing and her tomb. From the tablets she seems to have married a high king of what are now called the creek tribes. Richard Thornton of the people of one fire has an interesting series on this and other events from those times and earlier.
Thank you, Dawson, for preserving history. I'd love to see what is under all of that sand. Colonists definitely went with the Croatoan Tribe. If not, they would've been dead ☠️ waiting on a ship to return.
There have been genetic studies that suggest English DNA is present among the descendants of the Native American populations on Hatteras Island, formerly known as Croatoan Island. These findings are part of ongoing research into the fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke, the English settlers who disappeared in the late 16th century.Researchers have analyzed DNA from modern-day residents of Hatteras Island, as well as historical records and archaeological evidence. Some of these studies suggest a potential link between the Lost Colony settlers and the Croatoan people, who may have integrated the English settlers into their community.
If they had time to pick up and move, they would have left more than just a cryptic, one-word clue to where they went. If they all died off, where are all the remains of the people, buildings, tools, etc? When Raleigh came back a year later, there was no trace of them.
Without confirmation that a single soul survived beyond that point in history only means they found artifacts. Those artifacts could very well be the remnants of plunder from the colony being wiped out. I would imagine if any survived they would have found others who arrived later and made contact. It would also be written all over historic records especially considering who was lost there.
No one went and looked for them. Only a hundred years later was any effort made. The Indians on Croatoan reportedly intermarried and had offspring that had fairer skin, but generations had passed already
I agree. Finding artifacts from English people in Native garbage dumps is not a sound argument for drawing conclusions that the two peoples coexisted together. I watched a television show with these guys in it and one of them readily admitted that this was personal and they had a chip on their shoulder with an agenda. Imagine if the wild haired dude from Ancient Aliens tried to say finding a rock from Mars on earth was solid proof that Martians visited earth and coexisted with humans. He'd bed laughed out of the room. Because he's drawing conclusions to prove an agenda. Show me solid evidence or I'm not buying any conclusions.
@@brob-zy8zi I am all for saying there's evidence of some sort of contact. I would imagine the English settlement was readily known about in the region even if it was only there for a short time. And for whatever reason they departed, friendly or unfriendly terms their encampment could have been salvaged, the goods could have been traded or they could have been raided. It is possible they could have assimilated into the natives Tribes willingly to survive or unwillingly as slaves or captives. It's possible none of the men ever survived and it was only the women taken in. Even if it were only a small group that survived how did their existence never come to be known after they disappeared is the real question. Maybe the answer to all of that is no adults survived and only children and the children depending on their ages couldn't tell anyone based off various reasons, inability to speak that language because of their age at the time of capture or who knows. It would be easy to keep some of the survivors isolated if the Tribes came across the English again. The possibility of interracial changes could be the result of women captured. I am all for finding clues but not saying these artifacts without a shadow of doubt means there were survivors. Unfortunately I don't think they will ever know what truly happened.
my great great great? uncle did look for them what this failed to mention is his boat was commandeered to fight in a war, he went back no one was there and they were resupplying a colony not setting one up, they didn't have the resources to reestablish, just survive. @@Sampsonoff
That wld be the only reason they left is bc the natives was attacking them. They was told if they abandoned the colony, to put the name on something but if they was forced to put the name with a x over it and John wld know they was forced to go.
or maybe they were taken in by the Croatoans or another tribe, there is solid evidence to suggest they went with them instead. There were records taken and even artifacts to suggest that they just integrated into their tribe when they didn't receive help from England fast enough. Theres even records of their descendants being on the island, also the Croatoans and many other tribes were known to be peaceful and accepting of European settlers.
@@r3ptile584 I think it’s up to personal opinion but looking at what I’ve seen that’s the best conclusion. Im not saying all of them were peaceful, I’m talking specifically about the ones on Croatoan island. There was even testimony that the Powhatans slaughtered them both.
What ignorance. No algonquins were there. The cherokees speaking an Iroquoian language were still not there until the late 17th century with british supplied muskets to conquer and enslave.

Completely left out the fact that Lumbee were Croatoan lol they don't want the truth out

It seems so obvious. They literally carved where they went on the tree
Yeah that's shocking that people didn't look where they said they were going to go
Fun fact: An ancestor of mine disappeared at Roanoke in 1587. RIP John!
I would love to know. The entire story
Thank you, Dawson, for preserving history. I'd love to see what is under all of that sand. Colonists definitely went with the Croatoan Tribe. If not, they would've been dead ☠️ waiting on a ship to return.
Go Scott Dawson awesome find.
Is it just me or did that dude sound like he was 16 but looked 40
It is what it is.
Ikr!
Ya I legit thought it was a young man talking
Dawson was on a history channel show called american unearthed. The Host didn't like dawson
Jews hate his brother

3:40 Mmm, hello there, Kayla Gaskins.
Man: "this is the real story"
News woman: "its a story of failure"
🤣😂
How aren’t we sure if a hurricane might of happened?
Have offspring of native Croatoans been genetically tested to identify any markers from the English?
One man who lived in the same area, had just the right amount of native and English in him, to possibly be a descendant.
If they had time to pick up and move, they would have left more than just a cryptic, one-word clue to where they went.
If they all died off, where are all the remains of the people, buildings, tools, etc? When Raleigh came back a year later, there was no trace of them.
They did have time to pick up and move. The houses had been disassembled and taken away for reconstruction.
@@Sampsonoff Um, yeah, but that doesn't mean they did it. If they were slaughtered, for example, their attacks could have removed it all.
3 years later

I know I’m a little late but, thank you 👏🇨🇦
Cool history is knowledge
Is that ryan dawsons brother?
Its got to be, looks just like him
Twin brother to be exact.
whos the painting 2:28
Think it was first black British man in house's of pardement in England something like that
No mystery. Not "Lost" Scott Dawson figured it out and documented it very well. Read his book.
🤦🏻♂️ The Algonquin routinely attacked, slaughtered, and enslaved early European settlers... Mystery solved

A lot of incorrect information throughout this video.
Just like anything else the news puts out
Yeah how dare some intern tasked with a 3 minute history segment got some things wrong.
I'm here from school
ObliviousOverlord me too
same
@ArchrZ yeah sad that this story isint about roankoe ridge or the murfree brothers
They moved to Sampson County along with the the native Americans after a devastating hurricane.
Man, rhe Dawson Twins are on FIRE!
Did they bring a Preist
So no proof then..
God bless the dawsons a great american family
THIS...
IS A NATURAL...
NUCLEAR REACTOR...
Who killed them? hmmm?
They was friendly at first, till they was attacked by the colonist and then the Indians started attacking them.
Natives never wiped out nor had any wars with other natives, right? They all sat around camp fires with their guitars and sang kumbaya.
Big moist
The lumbee tribe or Tuscarora Indians were on the Coast first of the outer bsnks lol..
My ancestors took them out
Did anyone come here because of the movie hereditary?
Genetics from.them still exist lol...i know for sure lol...
Rofl this guy.... All speculation. None us were there back then.....
They hid in the desk and the desk hid them
....so we're discussing, with fervor, the colonists during this time? wowzers
Pretending history didn't happen only leads to ignorance.
Or is it ignorance that leads to canceling history?
Oh, so you are against immigration? Or only pre 1776?
The discussion is about the mystery of what happened to them.
