 | | The Catawba (also known as Issa or Esaw, but most commonly Iswa) are a tribe of Native Americans, once considered one of the most powerful eastern Siouan tribes, that traditionally lived in the Southeast United States, along the border between North and South Carolina. |
 | | Although the tribe had an estimated 5,000 living in North and South Carolina prior to the Revolutionary War, constant warfare and smallpox epidemics would eventually weaken the tribe to the extent they were forced to lease part of their reservation in 1826 and the remaining land in 1840. |
 | | The Catawba religion has a creator (Manatou), and sometimes is said to have a trinity.This trinity consists of Manatou, the creator, Kaia, the turtle, and a third being, who is sometimes said to be the son of Manatou. |
