There is no concrete evidence that the Croatan Indians specifically attacked Roanoke Island. The fate of the Lost Colony of Roanoke remains mysterious, with possibilities ranging from assimilation with local tribes to violent conflict. However, relationships between the English settlers and Native Americans in the region were complicated, and there were likely various factors that could have contributed to hostilities or misunderstandings.

Why wouldn't Queen Elizabeth send supplie to Roanoke?

Because of the imminent attack by the Spanish (Spanish Armada) in 1588, there was a stay of shipping, meaning that ships were not allowed to leave England. They were needed to form a defense against the attack. John White was not able to return to Roanoke Island until 1590.

Did indans attack the lost colony?

In 1587, Sir Walter Raleigh outfitted a ship with 91 men, 17 women, and 9 children and sent them on their way to the shores of Chesapeake Bay. Strong winds blew the expedition off course and they landed on an island off the coast of what would become North Carolina. The island was Roanoke. The settlers attempted to establish a colony while the ship returned to England for supplies. Three years would go by before a supply ship could return to Roanoke. When Raleigh's agents found the colony, all that was left were abandoned buildings and the word "CROATOAN" carved on one of the buildings. The men assumed the settlers had moved to Croatan Island near Cape Hatteras. But sailing there, they found no trace of the colonists. Some historians think the settlers could not survive on their own and they moved in with some local Indians, the Lumbee Tribe. The members of the Lumbee Tribe today claim that is what happened.
