About Us

Mission Statement

The mission of The Pee Dee Indian Tribe is to identify and seek solutions to problems affecting the social, economic, educational, health, housing and general welfare of the Pee Dee Indian People who reside in Marlboro, Dillon and Marion Counties, South Carolina. To seek general financial assistance from Federal, State and local governmental resources and related private resources to improve the general welfare of all Pee Dee Indian People. And to promote the image of the Pee Dee Indians both in South Carolina and the United States.

Tribal Gathering

The Pee Dee Indian Tribe has the strong desire to make the Tribe Self Supporting. We can do this by working together to bring about changes to our communities. We can have many opportunities if the Indian people will support the Tribe.

The Pee Dee Indian Tribe of South Carolina (formerly known as the Pee Dee Indian Tribal Association) is the Original Pee Dee Indian Tribe that was chartered on November 29, 1976. But it now has a completely new Tribal Administration. None of the former Tribal leaders are with the Tribe anymore. The Tribe has been brought back to a position of respect by all of the State agencies and Indian Tribal Leaders, both in the State of South Carolina and across the United States. This is from the hard and honest work of the current Tribal Council and Tribal Members that have put their heart and soul into rebuilding this Tribe after what happened a few years ago.

The Pee Dee Indian Tribe of South Carolina is made up from the Original family surnames that were living in Marlboro and Marion counties after the Civil War of 1861-1865. The Tribe is not formed from one ancestor, but from many ancestors. This is the major difference between the Pee Dee Indian Tribe of South Carolina and the other Pee Dee Indians.
