Native American Tribe series.Ani-Stohini
They are a small Indian tribe located in the mountains of southern Appalachia primarily in the seven mountain counties of Carroll, Grayson, Wythe, Washington, Smyth, Patrick, and Floyd in the state of Virginia and Surry and Alleghany Counties in North Carolina. The people themselves have been called over forty different names throughout history. It is possible that the people come from ancient peoples who have resided in the area for over fourteen thousand years. The original Tla Wilano language probably didn't resemble the modern language. Historically, the people were notable for their height. In the 18th century, George Washington referred to Indians from Twin Rivers Village as "giants" when he saw them while visiting the Iroquoian-speaking Susquehannock in Pennsylvania. Today the Ani-Stohini/Unami live in mountainous rural communities. They are primarily employed in factories, agriculture, and food services. They suffer diabetes at a rate higher than in populations of the dominant culture and other nearby ethnic groups.
