The Coree were a very small Native American tribe, who once occupied a coastal area south of the Neuse River[2] in southeastern North Carolina in the area now covered by Carteret and Craven counties. Early 20th-century scholars were unsure of what language they spoke,[3] but the coastal areas were mostly populated by Iroquois and Algonquian peoples.
