The Sewee or "Islanders" were a Native American tribe that lived in present-day South Carolina in North America. In 1670, the English founded the coastal town of Charleston in the Carolina Colony on land belonging to the Sewee. The town flourished from trade with the Sewee and neighboring tribes. The Sewee exchanged their deer hides for manufactured goods and beads from the English. However, the Sewee, who received only five percent of what buyers in England paid for their deer skins, felt that this business was unfair. Upon noting that the English ships always came in at the same location, they were confident that it was the direct route to England. They believed that by rowing to the point on the horizon where the ships first appeared, they could reach England, and once there, establish

  • Els sewee o "illencs" eren una tribu ameríndia ue va viure a l'actual Carolina del Sud als Estats Units. En 1670 els anglesos van fundar la localitat costanera de Charleston a la en terres pertanyents als sewee. La ciutat va florir des del comerç amb els sewee i les tribus veïnes. Els sewee intercanviaren les seves pells de cérvol per productes manufacturats i els grans dels anglesos. No obstant això, els sewee, que només van rebre el cinc per cent del que pagaven els compradors a Anglaterra per les seves pells de cérvol, sentien que aquest negoci era injust. Després de notar que els vaixells anglesos sempre arribaven al mateix lloc, se n'assabentaren que era el camí directe a Anglaterra. Creien que remant fins al punt en l'horitzó on van aparèixer per primera vegada els vaixells podrien arribar a Anglaterra, i un cop allà, establir un comerç directe és rendible. Per tant, la nació sewee decidí construir un vaixell. El topògraf anglès va ser testimoni de la construcció: "Es va acordar immediatament per fer una addició de la seva flota mitjançant la construcció de més canoes, i que aquestes fossin de millor classe i de ida més gran per a llur intent. Alguns indis foren emprats per a fabricar aquestes canoes, altres per caçar, tots a la tasca per a la que eren més aptes, tots els esforços cap a una capaç de dur càrrega a Europa."– John Lawson Mesos més tard, els sewee havien completat la seva flota de canoes, i ompliren els vaixells amb cuirs, pells i les seves possessions més valuoses. Tots els homes i dones sewee aptes abordaren els vaixells i van sortir a la mar. Només els nens, els malalts i els ancians es van quedar enrere. A mesura que els sewee entraren a l'oceà obert, l'alta mar va sacsejar les seves canoes. Els supervivents van ser rescatats per un que passava i foren venuts com a esclaus a les Índies Occidentals.

  • The Sewee or "Islanders" were a Native American tribe that lived in present-day South Carolina in North America. In 1670, the English founded the coastal town of Charleston in the Carolina Colony on land belonging to the Sewee. The town flourished from trade with the Sewee and neighboring tribes. The Sewee exchanged their deer hides for manufactured goods and beads from the English. However, the Sewee, who received only five percent of what buyers in England paid for their deer skins, felt that this business was unfair. Upon noting that the English ships always came in at the same location, they were confident that it was the direct route to England. They believed that by rowing to the point on the horizon where the ships first appeared, they could reach England, and once there, establish more profitable, direct trade. Therefore, the Sewee nation decided to build a navy. English land surveyor John Lawson witnessed the construction: "It was agreed upon immediately to make an addition of their fleet by building more canoes, and those to be of the best sort and biggest size as fit for their intended discovery. Some Indians employed about making the canoes, others to hunting - everyone to the post he was most fit for, all endeavors towards an able fleet and cargo for Europe." – John Lawson. Months later, the Sewee had completed their navy of canoes, and they filled the vessels with hides, pelts and their most valuable possessions. All able-bodied Sewee men and women boarded the boats and took to the sea. Only the children, the sick and the elderly were left behind. As the Sewee entered open ocean, high seas engulfed their canoes. The survivors were rescued by a passing English slave ship only to be sold into slavery in the West Indies. (en)
