This is like asking which came first the chicken or the egg. When "Records" were being made it is noted that at least 29 tribes lived in South Carolina, but there is no note (even among them) as to 'who was first.

If you are interested the listing of tribes are:

  • Ashepoo
  • Bohicket
  • Catawba
  • Chaloklowa (Chickasaw)
  • Cheraw
  • Cherokee
  • Chicora
  • Cofitachiqui
  • Combahee
  • Congaree
  • Coosa
  • Croatan
  • Cusabo
  • Cusso
  • Edisto
  • Escamacu
  • Etiwan
  • Hook
  • Keyauwee
  • Kiawah
  • Kusso-Natchez
  • Natchez
  • Pee Dee
  • Pee Dee - Beaver Creek
  • Sait Helena
  • Saluda
  • Santee
  • Sewee
  • Stono
  • Sugeree
  • Waccamaw
  • Wando
  • Wappoo
  • Wassamasaw
  • Wateree
  • Waxhaw
  • Westo
  • Wimbee
  • Winyah
