Tutelo

The Tutelo were a Siouan-speaking people of the uplands of Virginia and West Virginia. They later joined related peoples, including the Saponi, under pressure from English settlers and the Haudenosaunee.

In 1671 the Batts and Fallam expedition visited their town near present-day Salem. After 1714 the Tutelo lived near Fort Christanna, then moved north in the 1730s. The Cayuga adopted them in 1753. When the Sullivan expedition destroyed their village of Coreorgonel in 1779, they followed their Cayuga relatives to Canada.
