Calicua

Calicua is a name recorded among the Indigenous peoples of the country west of the Appalachian ridges. In the northern part of this region, the Monongahela valley supported communities whose villages were arranged around open spaces and whose fields produced maize. Archaeologists have given the name Monongahela to their material culture. These communities traded with other Indigenous peoples, linking the river valleys of the interior to wider networks of exchange before sustained European settlement.
