In later times the Etiwaw assisted the English in destroying the Siouan Santee and Congaree.4 Henry Woodward, upon whom the English settlers of South Carolina relied in all of their communications with the natives, calls the Kiawa "Chyawhaw," and although he is unsupported in this, his information should have been the most reliable. If he is correct, the Kiawa were probably a branch of those Chiaha Indians noted elsewhere, some of whom are known to have lived near the Yamasee at an early period. ...the chief of Kiawa accompanied Woodward on his expedition to visit the chief of "Chufy tachyque" and acted as his interpreter.2 If the latter were the Kasihta Creeks...2 this fact would indicate some similarity between the languages of the two peoples.
