SAKYAS may be the part of Koliya tribe.At the time of Buddha the Caste System was in existence.Gautam Buddha's father insisted him to marry a girl from Koliya Tribe only.

It shows that Buddha belongs to Koliya tribe. The kolis are traced back to Mohenjadaro and Harappan civilization, their kings MANDHATA.The tribe is spread all over India now.

There is no clear description of Shakyas are as kolis as it may be kept away as the community is spread allover India,and in between,all the credits are taken by upper casts.
