The Occaneechi (also Occoneechee and Akenatzy) are Native Americans who lived primarily on a large 4-mile (6.4 km) long Occoneechee Island and east of the confluence of the Dan and Roanoke Rivers near current day Clarksville Virginia in the 17th century. They were Siouan-speaking and thus related to the Saponi Tutelo Eno and other Southeastern Siouan-language peoples living in the Piedmont region of present-day North Carolina and Virginia.
