Hey!
  I also work at Kiawah.  I had been told last year, when the course was 
still in development, that the name "cassique" did not refer to a particular 
indian or a particular tribe, but it was a generic term meaning chief.  I've 
just assumed it was a term the white man gave to natives in the area.  The 
only tribe I know of in our area is the Edisto tribe (which is not the same 
as the Edisto Beach area).   The Edisto's consist of several bands, if I 
remember correctly, what was left of several local tribes that banded 
together, which included the Kiawah Indians.  I've been to a few of their 
pow-wows but I really can't recall the different tribe names.
