Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

In the quest of Raleigh to colonise the Roanoke island colony (region) without consideration to several factors, a group of colonists where sent to the region in 1587. Unfortunately, in 1590, when the expedition leader, White returned to the colony, he noticed that everyone has vanished with no trace whatsoever. There is a theory that, they were absorbed into an Indian tribe known as the Croatans or probably killed by the Indian tribe.
