Native Americans of Port Royal Sound
Tuesday, September 17, 10:00AM - 11:30AM–USCB Hilton Head Campus

Take a trip back in time with this talk that explores the history of the Native Americans who lived along the shores of Port Royal Sound for almost 3,000 years before the arrival of the Spanish in 1715. You’ll be introduced to the 12-19 loosely-affiliated tribes who called this area home — connecting more deeply with Hilton Head Island’s past in the process.
