The community is located primarily in Pleasant Grove Township Alamance County North Carolina. The tribe maintains an office in Mebane where it carries out programs to benefit the roughly 701 enrolled tribal members. Limited documentation exists linking members of the tribe to the historical Occaneechi and Saponi tribes.
