Machapunga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Machapunga were a very small Native American tribe of Algonquian descent, now disappeared, who once occupied a coastal area of northeastern North Carolina, living in a village called Mattamuskeet on the shore of Lake Mattamuskeet. The tribe was described by Europeans in 1701 as containing roughly 100 members. In 1711 they participated in the Tuscarora War. By 1715, the remaining members of the Coree, who lived to the south, had been merged into the Machapunga and lived together with them in Mattamuskeet
