What did they mean by this?!?!?!?!?
Long lost Croatian colony.

it was the name of one of the tribes on the mainland, when it was clear that the colony could no longer survive on its own the few that remained most likely went to the mainland and joined them.
You could speculate the Croatan tribe attacked them and a survivor scrawled it on a tree so others would know who is responsible.
More likely they were attacked by Spanish privateers and the inscription was just a demonstration of the settler's alphabet to the Croatan.

The ones who didn't starve moved in with the Injuns
