Before the American Revolution, four primary indigenous nations in South Carolina were:

1. Catawba: The Catawba people were located primarily in the area along the Catawba River and were known for their agricultural practices and pottery.

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.

These nations were among those present in South Carolina prior to the extensive European settlements and the revolutionary period.
