The Monacan Indians live in Amherst County, Virginia. They are a Siouan tribe; their language was in the Tutelo-Saponi group of Siouan languages. They have been the victims of intense racial discrimination in the past, part of Plecker's campaign to reclassify all people with mixed ancestry as black. They were known as "Issues" until they achieved State recognition as the Monacan Tribe.
