The Waxhaw Tribe (also spelled Waxhau) was a tribe native to what are now the counties of Lancaster in South Carolina; and Union and Mecklenburg in North Carolina around the area of Charlotte. The Waxhaw were related to other nearby Southeastern Siouian tribes such as the Catawba and Sugeree. Some scholars suggest the Waxhaw may have been a tribe of the Catawba rather than a separate people given the similarity in what is known of the language and customs.
