The Coree were a small Native American tribe, who once occupied a coastal area south of the Neuse River in southeastern North Carolina in the area now covered by Carteret and Craven counties. Scholars are unsure of what language they spoke, but the coastal areas were mostly populated by Iroquoian-speaking and Algonquian-speaking peoples. After the Tuscarora War and the Coree War, the Coree were essentially absorbed into other native populations, primarily into the Tuscarora Tribe.
