1 Lost Colony of Roanoke North Carolina Jami Hayden:)

2 Description When John White returned to Roanoke 3 years later he found that none of his establishments were there or any of his people left a trace.

3 Theories of my enigma They just moved Were killed by Indians Sailed away using their houses’ wood for rafts

4 Discovery of the Missing People John White was the man who found the people missing, and houses gone, and it has now been known for 400 years since 1587!

5 Findings Made! Scientists found that Indians had lived in the area before and were not fond of them because of the shortage in food.

6 View Points Some think that moving or their vanishing was the settlers choice, but others think they loved the area and were forced out or killed.

7 Dilemmas If White hadn’t returned 3 years late they might not have disappeared. Scientist still debate about if they were killed or if they moved.

8 Changes More evidence has been found to conclude the theories. A piece of evidence was found on a tree that had the carved word “croatoan.”

9 fuN FaCtS A tree with the carved word “CROATON” and another saying, ”CRO”, meaning it was unfinished! Only a few Indian tools were found laying on a tree stump. Not even houses were left. The British were in a war with Mexico during this time Roanoke is where North Carolina is now!

10 MY the0ry;) I think that Mexico went to Roanoke during the war with Britain, tore down everything so Britain wouldn’t be able to grow.
