High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Nottoway, in their own language Cheroenhaka, Cherohakah, Cheroohoka or Tcherohaka?, are an Iroquoian-language tribe of Virginia Indians living mainly in the region around Southampton, Virginia. Although neither state nor federally recognized today, the tribe has been recognized since colonial times by regional governments, as attested by numerous treaties. The meaning of the name Cheroenhaka is uncertain. The late Iroquoianist Dr. Blair Rudes analyzed the second element as -haka? meaning "one or people who is/are characterized in a certain way", and conjectured that the first element was related to Tuscarora ?arhu, "tobacco". It is also interpreted as "People at the Fork of the Stream". The term Nottoway derives from an Algonquian term sometimes applied to other Iroquoian- or Siouan-speaking tribes as well, Nadawa or Nadowessioux meaning "adders". Another form of this same term gave rise to the ethnonym "Sioux" used for the Plains Dakota tribe.
