The Tutelo (also Totero, Totteroy, Tutera; Yesan in Tutelo) were Native American people living above the Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line in present-day Virginia and West Virginia. They spoke a dialect of the Tutelo language thought to be similar to that of their neighbors, the Monacan and Manahoac nations.
