| Bio notes | Also known as Mahock, Mannahoac. A small Siouan-speaking tribe that, at the time of European contact, lived along the Rappahannock River in northern Virginia. They were allied to the Monacan, Saponi, and Tutelo tribes, and competed against both the Powhatan Confederacy and the Iroquois. The Manahoac might have been one of the displaced tribes that participated in the Battle of Bloody Run (1656). In 1700, two of their sub-tribes (Stegaraki, Ontponea) were present at Fort Christanna, a missionary and educational facility sponsored by the College of William and Mary. After 1723, the Manahoac probably merged with the Tutelo and Saponi, who were then adopted by the Cayuga 30 years later. |
