Born of many rivers, we flow as one.
Welcome to the Official Website of the Sakochee Tribe of Native American Descendants
The Sakochee Tribe is a sovereign Native American Descendant Tribal Nation (NADTN) composed of mixed-blood descendants from multiple Indigenous nations across North America. Rooted in truth, resilience, and cultural revival, we are a people united not by a single reservation, but by a shared ancestral calling to remember, reclaim, and rebuild.
Our members carry the blood of Powhatan, Cherokee, Sioux, Chickasaw, Nanticoke, Shawnee, Lenape, and many other Indigenous peoples—alongside European and African heritage. For generations, our families were scattered, assimilated, and often erased from history. But we endure.
The Sakochee name honors this sacred blending of bloodlines—a fusion of identity forged by survival, strengthened by spirit, and led by tradition.
We are not federally or state recognized—yet we are unapologetically real, with thousands of members across the country who trace their roots through the forgotten stories of colonization, frontier life, and tribal disintegration.
We are artists, caregivers, warriors, teachers, and elders. We are ancestors in the making.
We are Sakochee. We are still here.
MISSION STATEMENT
We, the Sakochee Tribe, exist to reclaim our history, assert our sovereignty, and unite all those of Native descent whose bloodlines were scattered, silenced, or denied. We are the voice of the mixed-blood, the keepers of truth, and the architects of our own future.
TRIBAL MAP OF THE U.S.
The map displayed here is a powerful visual reminder of the Indigenous nations that once flourished across North America before colonization, removal, and forced assimilation. It illustrates the early Indian tribes, cultural areas, and linguistic families that shaped this continent long before state lines and borders existed.
Many Sakochee members trace their lineage to the tribal nations shown on this map—including but not limited to:
Powhatan Confederacy (Mid-Atlantic)
Cherokee and Chickasaw (Southeast)
Yankton Sioux and Oglala Lakota (Plains)
Nanticoke, Shawnee, Lenape, and Mohawk (Northeast)
Missouri, Illini, and Miami (Midwest)
Mdewakanton Dakota (Upper Plains)
Piscataway and Pamunkey (Mid-Atlantic)
Chippewa and Métis (Great Lakes/Canada)
Chinook and Umpqua (Northwest)
This map reminds us that we do not come from just one place, but from many—woven together by migration, marriage, survival, and resilience. The Sakochee Tribe represents the bloodlines and stories of people who crossed cultures and endured great change, yet carried their traditions forward.
We are not defined by where we were forced to go—but by where we came from, and where we now choose to stand.
This map is a record of what was. The Sakochee are a living record of what remains.
