That is where those First Nations people with blue eyes and blonde hair came from.

So, it is a double-edged thing. Yes, they were 'lost' as far as the European peoples were concerned. But, they were not lost, they just went somewhere else and intermingled.

Having worked at The Lost Colony for a few seasons, We always discussed what happened to them. The general consensus was that they had intermingled with the tribes that were friendly to them, most likely Manteo's people.

I suspect that a few were captured and intermingled with other tribes as well.
