== Waccamaw Siouans ==
The Waccamaw [[Sioux]] or Waccamaw Siouan are one of eight Indian tribes recognized by the North Carolinian government. The Waccamaw Siouan Indians are not affiliated with the Waccamaw People of North Carolina or the Waccamaw Siouan of Farmers Union South Carolina. The Lake Waccamaw Indians are known as the "People of the Falling Star<ref name=":8">{{Cite web|url=https://waccamaw-siouan.net/history|title=Waccamaw Siouan Indians|last=Tribe|first=Waccamaw Siouan|website=Waccamaw Siouan Tribe|language=en-US|access-date=April 12, 2019}}</ref>" because of the humongous meteorite that crashed to earth years ago and created the crater that is now Lake Waccamaw. The Waccamaw Siouan live on the edge of the Green Swamp in a closed, protected swampland refuge. The Waccamaw Indians were originally called the Waccon and then the Waccammassus Indians, but their name was changed to Waccamaw by white settlers as it was more convenient and easy for English settlers to pronounce.<ref name=":8" />
