Local native tribes told William Stryker (secretary of the Jamestown colony) that most, if not all of the missing colony lived in the Chesapeake area with the native tribe there. Also, the chief of the Powhatan tribe said that the colony moved in with the Chesapeake natives, but they were slain in battle. (He allegedly told John Smith this and it was recorded by Stryker)

@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 2 жыл бұрын

Lack of written records and a degree of uncertainty about *whose* ancestors the local tribes actually are serve as the answer to this. It's a question that's been the subject of active research for more than four centuries, if there was an easy answer actually supported by anything of value, someone would have gotten rich writing a book about it. There are native groups that identify as descendants of the local tribes and the missing colonists today, but that's more a matter of them adopting a popular explanation than anything like them having an accurate oral history of anything like it.

@aaronengland5622 Жыл бұрын

@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 Oral traditions are usually pretty good among the tribes. The bigger issue you run into is when tribes intermingle and end up with multiple stories as to where they came from. for example the Cherokee moved from an Island to the southeastern US. they lived among the Iroquois who were originally from the southeastern US until a territorial dispute caused a war that lasted a least 100 years and ultimately forced the Iroquois to move north. Both the Cherokee and the Seneca tell this story and it is backed up with a quite a bit of evidence. As of today the official record still states that the cherokee speak and Iroquoian language (due to shared words) and that they are just a group of Iroquois that split off and traveled south from the great lakes region.

Like after 6 months they probably gave up on him coming back and just got down on their knees and begged a tribe to help them out, once they intermingled and found that the tribe was human (wow! Shocker!) they just stayed. White supremacy kind of goes out the window when the only options are death and mixing.

I have a theory: if the colony was attacked by natives, maybe they were forced to leave quickly there for they only had time to carve ‘Croatoan’ on a tree in hopes that John white would see it. Once they got to croatoan island, maybe it is possible they were wiped out by the 2 storms (especially because of how small the island was) that also caused John white to turn back twice. And there remains..in the Atlantic.

@holdmeclosertonydanza22 7 ай бұрын

2020 UPDATE: Following an archeological expedition, it was concluded that the most likely scenario was that the colony moved to Hatteras Island with the Croatoan tribe, where they were integrated with the tribe, and lived out the remainder of their days. Several period-appropriate items were found 4-6 feet beneath the earth on the island, which strongly suggests (if not 'concludes') that the mystery is over.

@leilahassani2988 4 жыл бұрын

Okay hear me out: The colony decided to go to the Croatoan Island for some reason, like lack of food supplies, and so they took a boat. But as you said, when John White tried to do the same, both times he had to face storms. Maybe... the colony faced a storm and just drowned, which would explain why there was no body on any of the islands and no trace of a fight either

Oh, I know this one! Hatteras Island, then known as Croatoan Island, is now a permanent part of the Outer Banks peninsula due to natural geographical shifts. However, at the time, it was a tidal island. The colonists could have walked there at a certain time of year, but the adjoining land would be underwater at other times. The ocean nearby is infamously treacherous, making the journey over sea very difficult. If John White had simply waited (or had knowledge of the tides, which the local tribes did), he would have been able to reach the island on foot.

ReadaBook we need a t-shirt that says either (quote) “this is a t-shirt” (end quote) or (quote) “This case remains unsolved” (end quote) or what ever Ryan says I can’t remember.

Dean Koontz's book "Phantoms" heralds an interesting theory for mass disappearances such as what happened at Roanoke. It's a fiction/horror book, but it's especially scary and interesting because it makes SENSE.

Does anyone think that he literally just sailed to the wrong place.

Since he was a cartographer, I think he probably would have known his geography well enough to at least get to the right places.

He went to the fort the colony built. He tried to go to the other island that they carved on the wall. They had been to before more than once in the last 3 years. The weather was too bad. Some crew died trying to get to shore and the rest refused to help him anymore.

It doesn't explain the tree. Why would there be a tree in some random place that says croatoan?

I learned about this in grade school as well then again in middle school where we watched a documentary about how they thought they dismembered each member and fed on them. That was a fun history class :)

At times I wonder why he still does this show, it's just him listening to Ryan jump from one superstition to another How rambling on aliens had me staring at the screen thinking "you're kidding right...?"

@@IronLegionnaire1 For entertainment, of course. Some people don't find it funny at all, but I don't believe in these wacky bs and I think it's pretty funny. I'm sure there are many people who would agree that it's funny because of the sheer absurdity. Also I don't think Ryan actually believes in those crazy theories either. As Shane stated, they are actors. Ryan Bergara plays a character called Ryan Bergara and Shane Madej plays a character called Shane Madej. In the end it's just a job, the goal of which is to entertain the masses.
