Spanish missions in the Carolinas

The Spanish missions in the Carolinas were part of a series of religious outposts established by Spanish Catholics in order to spread the Christian doctrine among the local Native Americans. A few missions to native people living in the vicinity of the Spanish presidio at Santa Elena (on Parris Island) in South Carolina were established from 1566 to 1570, including:

  • Escamau-Orista,
  • Guatari, and
  • Joadi.
