2. **Cherokee**: The Cherokee nation occupied the western part of South Carolina and were known for their complex social structure and trade networks.

3. **Yamasee**: The Yamasee tribe lived in the coastal regions and were involved in trade with European settlers, particularly in deerskin trade.

4. **Edisto**: The Edisto people were part of the larger Muskogean-speaking tribes and inhabited the coastal areas near the Edisto River.
