Answer:

CROATOAN was the sole complete word found on Roanoke Island by John White on 18 Aug. ... (It is believed that Manteo's mother was a tribal monarch of the Croatoans.) Ethnologists and anthropologists believe that the word "Croatoan" may have been a combination of two Algonquian words meaning "talk town" or "council town."
