Chief Attakullakulla "Little Carpenter" 1708 - 1777

















Son of Anawaya Moytoy and White Owl Raven - My 7g Grand Uncle

Attacullaculla of Chota-Tenase, Principal Chief of the Cherokee, (ca. 1708–ca. 1777), also known as Little Carpenter, was a leading chief of the Cherokee Indians from 1761 to around 1775. He was known to the British as the "Prince of Chote-Tenase", or Prince of Chota, because his grandfather, Moytoy of Chota, had been the chief of the capital city, Chota-Tanasi. His name is also spelled Attakullakulla. His son was Dragging Canoe.

According to James Mooney, his Cherokee name was "Ata'-gul-kalu", which could be translated "leaning wood", from "ata" meaning "wood", and "gulkalu", a verb that implies something long and unsupported, leaning against some other object. His name "Little Carpenter" came from a maternal ancestor, Thomas Pasmere Carpenter, and Englishman of Norman descent.

Family tradition maintains that he was born on Seivers Island (near Chota) around 1708 to Nancy Moytoy (eldest daughter of Moytoy I b. 1683) and her husband Moytoy IV. Moytoy IV was an Algonquin named White Owl Raven Carpenter (also called Raven of Chota) who had been adopted by Moytoy II (Trader Tom Carpenter). He married Nionne Ollie, who was the daughter of his cousin Oconostota (the marriage was permissible because they were of different clans; he was Wolf Clan and she was Paint Clan). Among their children were Dragging Canoe and Dutsi, through whom Major Ridge and David Watie were grandchildren of Attacullaculla.

He was a member of the Cherokee delegation that traveled to England in 1730. In 1736, he rejected the advances of the French, who sent emissaries to the Overhill Cherokees. Three or four years later, he was captured by the Ottawa, allies of the French, who held him captive in Canada until 1748. Upon his return, he became one of the Cherokees' leading diplomats and an adviser to the Beloved Man of Chota.

In May 1759, following a series of attacks by settlers and Cherokees against each other, Attacullaculla joined a delegation that went to Charleston to try to negotiate with South Carolina authorities. Governor William Henry Lyttleton seized the delegates as hostages until the Cherokees responsible for killing white settlers were surrendered. Having raised an expeditionary force, Lyttleton set out for Fort Prince George with the hostages in tow and arrived with 1700 men on December 9, 1759. Though freed soon after, Attacullaculla returned to Fort Prince George to negotiate for peace, but his efforts were thwarted by the more hawkish Oconostota. The Cherokees gave up two individuals and negotiated the release of a few hostages including Oconostota, who soon after lured Lt. Richard Coytmore out of the fort, waving a bridle over his head, and incited Cherokee warriors hiding in the woods to fire upon and kill Coytmore; white soldiers inside the fort then proceeded to murder all the Cherokees inside, and hostilities continued between the Cherokees and Anglo-Americans.
He was actually a rather small man, not much over 5 feet. Most of the modern American History books contain the name of this man as having fought with the Americans in the American Revolution. His son, Dragging Canoe fought on the side of the British, the Chickamagua Cherokees.

His death is believed to have occurred either in 1775 or 1777, after which he was succeeded by his cousin, Oconostota (who was also his father-in-law). Attacullaculla did not use the European title "Emperor of the Cherokees" that his uncles had.

    7. Attakullakulla is my 8th great-grandfather. He will be a descendent to many. If you trace your ancestors on Ancestry.com, etc. you can see how it works. Each child moves in different directions and in some cases are married multiple times, but in any case, the ancestors are exponential. This means lots of people can be descendants and grandchildren.

  4. Note the name Atti or Atta in the Bible, perhaps in Chronicles or another book. Some Cherokee seem to have links to, maybe, the Fall of Masada or other Old Israel events connected to the Americas, and to the Fall of Carthage and other similar exoduses. Ancient Israel coins found in southeast Kentucky Cherokee graves prove the connection.

    3. Huh?... Did you lose your brains in outer space? This doesn't make any since at all! I read, study and I know the whole bible and scriptures, chapters and verses, from cover to cover and absolutely nowhere in the bible does it ever mention or supports any mythological fantasies and fairytales on that. I'm a Christian and a Native American, not a Catholic or a Mormon and I know for a fact that Native Americans aren't connected to Israel in anyway, shape or form.

    4. Resesrch dna conclusions about cherokees dna markers. Why Cherokee cannot show up as native American on the dna test results! So much new evidence out there now on the regarding where cherokees descendants come from. And yes...this concludes that the Early Mormons were on to something. Reasearch before you debate what these dna markers indicate. Tribe of Iseral, etc...

    2. Sorry I wasn't clear on my post above. This lineage begins with Thomas Carpenter "The Immigrant" who came over from England, adoptive father of Amatoya Moytoy. Thomas Chandler and Thomas Carpenter are both direct descendants to a line of Dutch Royalty and then dating back to the Roman Empire.

    10. I have already done my research and study about this Thomas Pasmere “Cornplanter” Carpenter, because not only do I love researching and studying everything, but especially, when it comes to family genealogy, I love researching and studying the family genealogy based on factual and truthful documentations. When I researched and studied this Thomas Pasmere ‘Cornplanter’ Carpenter made up character, because when he started showing up in a few different branches of my family, I was highly suspicious of this character, so I did a background check on him, and guess what? I was right all along. This Thomas “Cornplanter “ Carpenter is a made up fictional character based on fantasy fairytales.

    2. I am currently researching Aggie Owl, as she allegedly has ties to the Dameron family (which I am descended from). However, I cannot find any record of Aggie Owl's existence outside of blogs or comments.

      However, I HAVE taken a DNA test and I do NOT have any Native American ancestry. I encourage anyone who may be a descendant of Aggie Owl to take a DNA test (if possible), to help determine:

      1. If we are all related to one another, and
      2. If there is a common theme of Native American ancestry

      But as it stands, so far, I haven't found any DNA matches in common with Aggie, I have no Native DNA, and I haven't found any legitimate records of Aggie... which leads me to believe she may not be as common in our ancestry as we might've thought.

    Replies
    1. So far, I have not been able to find any proof that there was ever a living Aggie Owl, or that she was related to Attakullakulla...

      I do have a supposedly Native American Aggie Owl in my family tree, allegedly she married into the Dameron family (of which I am descended). But I cannot find any records to verify this

      I have also been DNA tested and I AM a DNA match to many Damerons, but so far, not a DNA match to anyone who claims to be related to Aggie Owl...

      I also have no Native American DNA

      So either, Aggie is not really related to the Damerons, or she was not really Native American, or she perhaps is a legendary figure who never existed at all.

      If anyone has any additional information, or how Aggie appeared in their tree as well, message me at mironmckee@gmail.com

      However, I cannot find any record of Aggie's existence outside of blogs, forum boards, and comments.

      Additionally, I have been DNA tested and do not have any Native ancestry at all...nor am I a DNA match to any other supposed descendants of Aggie...

      Which means, she does NOT have ties to the Dameron family, and I am not really related to her at all. Or she is NOT related to so many other people...

      I am curious, do any other of her supposed descendants here have DNA results? If so, do you have any Native DNA? Is it traceable back to her specifically?

      If we all work together would could feasibly solve this puzzle once and for all.

      But it starting to look like Aggie may be a legendary figure.

    2. I cannot find any proof that Aggie Owl ever existed, nor that she was related to Attakullakulla...

      Most "proof" or her existence comes from blogs, forum boards, comments, or word of mouth...which is to say, there is no concrete evidence.

      She showed up in my family tree as having children with a Dameron man (a family from which I am descended).

      I have been DNA tested, and I AM a DNA match to many Damerons...but so far, not a match to anyone who claims to be related to Aggie Owl.

      I also have no Native American DNA.

      This means, either Aggie Owl isn't really related to the Damerons, she wasn't really Native American, or she perhaps never really existed at all.

      She somehow shows up in SO MANY family trees, and yet none of us can find proof of her being related to Attakullakulla. It seems at this point she may simply be a legendary figure

      If you have any information to share about her or how you may be related to her, or to the Damerons, feel free to message me at mironmckee@gmail.com

    1. Dragging Canoe didn't have R1b1a markers. His markers were entirely Central American, from the Mayan Snake Kings of Guatemala. That's why he was called The Dragon. His mother's father was Obalalkabiche (Feathered Serpent of the Natchez). The Chickamauga no longer exist. Women weren't Chickamaugas anyway. It was a warrior confederacy during the American Revolution and after it was dissolved the members all returned to their separate tribes.

      People really need to stop lying. There is zero evidence of Dragging Canoe having an English name such as Andrew or Andre Brown. Really irritates me that I have to go through all this misinformation and address it. Hopefully some of you spread the truth as well as you spread lies.

    2. Hello! I am descended from the Damron family, and Aggie Owl also showed up in my family tree...

      However, there is no evidence that she actually existed. The only references to her come from blogs, forum boards, comment sections (like this one), or other user-generated content (such as public Ancestry trees).

      I have been DNA tested and I AM a genetic match to many other Damrons/Damerons...

      But I have NO Native American DNA and so far, have not been a DNA match to anyone else who claims to be related to Aggie Owl. Which doesn't add up...

      Either Aggie Owl wasn't really related to the Damrons, or she wasn't really Native American, or...she is a legendary figure who never really existed at all.

  26. Looking for the Wife and or Mother of War Chief Robert Benge. He may have been married or had a child with the Sister of Dragging Canoe. Childs name would have been Nancy Agnes Benge.

Any clarification is appreciated with documentation would be wonderful.

  27. Chief Benge was about 1/4 Indian, Cherokee, but was of the tribe. He fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain, Carolina, in the U.S. Revolution with Chiefs Doublehead and Arun (Aaron) Redbird Brock (Chief Redbird) and other Cherokee and Catawba linked units on the Patriot side. He and the other top chiefs had links at times to old Clay County, KY, Harlan County, KY, Perry County and Stearns, KY areas now near Buckhorn Lake. Doublehead Creek is in Clay County. Dragging Canoe also had Kentucky links at times. Benge's so-called "red hair" may have been dyed red as part of Redbird Band of Cherokee! redbirdband.bravehost.com 1/19/17

    1. Culture vulture. Attakullakulla was a traitor who sold our lands at the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals and was executed for it in 1777 by Dragging Canoe who cut his head off. That's your claim to a Cherokee identity? A traitor whose name among real Cherokee is the equivalent of a Judas? He wasn't Eastern Band Cherokee (there was no Eastern Band then, genius), he wasn't from the Aniwaya (Wolf Clan), and calling him any of those things would get you worked over by a real Kituwa. ᎤᎾᎦ

      Delete
    2. The fact that you called Attakullakulla "Chief of the Chickamauga" shows just how full of it you actually are. Cheucunsene (Dragging Canoe) defected from the Cherokee because of Attakullakulla's willingness to sell all of Kentucky to Virginia Bankers associated with the Transylvania Land Company. Dragging Canoe had to form the Chickamauga in order to resist what Attakullakulla was signing off on. Either you're a blatant liar or you're mentally retarded. Which is it?

      Delete
    3. So, you are calling me names and threatening me? Do you want me to report you? I am only providing my family line so others can share any information about Attakullakulla and his family so I will have answers to my questions and will have helpful resources to my research and study on my family genealogy research. There are absolutely no reason at all for you to be hostile to me, but if you continue to be hostile towards me, when I am only researching and studying to learn more about my Cherokee relatives, I am going to report you.

  36. If you folks insist on claiming Native ancestry and intend on stealing our ancestors after taking the lands and everything else from us . . . at least commit yourself to learning the truth. And stop copy-pasting nonsense all over the internet. It's extremely disrespectful and really annoying for those of us who actually are what you claim to be and yet know absolutely nothing about.

    Amasvyi Conseen (Amasa Chandler) was born in 1782 in the village of Chilhowee. Her mother was a daughter of Uku'a Chilhowee (Old Abram). Her father was Cheucunsene (Dragging Canoe). Two of her brothers were Cheusdi Conseen (Little Dragging Canoe) and Chuleo Conseen (Young Dragging Canoe). Amasvyi Conseen married Thomas Chandler in 1798 and became Amasa Chandler. She was 16 at the time and he was in his 30s. Thomas Chandler was the father of all of her children except the youngest named Henry Chandler. Henry was the son of Tecumseh. Tecumseh was the adopted son and protege of Dragging Canoe and Dragging Canoe's daughter intentionally had a son with Tecumseh because of that connection. So anybody who actually is descended from Henry Chandler is of Shawnee, Natchez, and Cherokee background. They don't come from the Chandlers.

    That painting at the top can be found via the link below. It has nothing to do with Cherokee and whoever wrote those names on it is a shameless liar. The meeting painted is at the Smithsonian and features the Trustees of Georgia meeting with Delegates of the Creek Nation in 1734. You can see it here.

  37. And despite what y'all read in books, on wikipedia, and see in museum exhibits from the Qualla folks, Attakullakulla was NOT the father of Cheucunsene. Cheucunsene was born in the Natchez refugee village of Falacheco among the Chickasaw in 1732. His father was a Chickasaw warrior. His mother was W'natchi (Natchez) and from a village on the site of the modern day Emerald Mound in Stanton, Mississippi. In 1740 the British allies of both Chickasaw and Cherokee relocated the Natchez away from the French to the Overhill region because the French were waging a war of annihilation on the Natchez ever since the Natchez massacred Fort Rosalie in 1729 (a French fort north of New Orleans). Aganatsistau (Oconostota) adopted Ollie and her son into the Aniwaya and she established Natchiyi (Natchez Place) among the Cherokee. Attakullakulla was able to marry Ollie because they were from different Clans. If they were both Wolf Clan they wouldn't have married. That was considered incest because the Clan is your true family if you're a real Kituwa.

    What's it gonna take for people who aren't qualified to write on things to shut their mouth and stop making stuff up about us? There are zero sources on this page for all of your nonsense. Not one of the 9 volumes of Moravian journals, not Cherokee by Blood, not the Spanish, French, English, or American colonial documents, war department papers, or private letters between the numerous Sephardic Jewish merchants. Nothing. Do any of you people actually read or do you just find the name of a random Indian who lived during a certain period of time and slap a whole buncha crap onto them? Centuries of liars. From James Adair to Ward Churchill, one after another, making up all sorts of nonsense about our people. We can't even tell our true history because we have to waste all our energy counteracting the endless stream of fiction from you people. Will you never stop? Can we never get our lives back?

    And y'all think if you have one g-g-g-g-g-g-g great grandmother who was Cherokee that makes you Cherokee? Have you not done the math? An 8x great grandmother means 10 generations. Do you know how many people lived between you and Cheucunsene? 1,024. That means you're 1,024th Cherokee. Think about how ridiculous that sounds. Learn about your other ancestors. Trace back those people and stop trying to find some way that you can actually feel like a real American. It's pathetic. You have real ancestors from all over the world who lives just as interesting lives. Being Native won't make you a different person. You're the same exact person you are without your "proof" that one ancestor was Indian 200 years ago. At the end of the day our true name for ourselves was the Aniyvwiya. Yvwi meant Human, Ya was a suffix for a natural law or way, and Ani meant People. So basically we were the "people of the human law", the "principle people", the "human beings". Be a human being. Learn about your Celtic, Pictish, Germanic, Nordic, Slavic, Norman, or whatever ancestors. Connect with something that is more authentic to you as an individual human being. This sick obsession with trying to become what your people tried to destroy is appalling. We survived your ancestors and we will survive you too. But when you mistake Amasvyi's father Cheucunsene for Attakullakulla, and have no clue how extraordinarily different those two men were as human beings, it's obvious that you are not now and never will be a Cherokee. Find yourselves somewhere else.

    Attakullakulla didn't raise Cheucunsene. He wasn't a warrior. Oconostota and other male members of the Wolf Clan raised Cheucunsene.

      Your knowledge is very insightful, but I am considered a white person and would like to avoid being "scalped" if I say something that might offend you. I love the Cherokee people and have researched and visited many of the Cherokee historical sights and even gone to visit the Cherokee in Oklahoma. If both our ancestors could be here now, I am sure they would want us to pursue the path of honor and truth for our lives, which I am trying very hard to do. If a Cherokee is hungry, I want to "feed him, if he is thirsty, I would give him a drink."

  38. This message is for Anonymous who has posted above and has been chastising those who have written on these pages asking for help in trying to discover their families past. How indignant you are in your attitude. Instead of lashing out, why do you not, in a gentle manner, explain our history to the masses. If you have answers to all of these questions, do you not feel it is your responsibility to share this stored information in an attempt to set the record straight. Your tone and comments do nothing to help people to understand our people; it is an alienating attitude and does everything but glamorize the Indian People. According to our culture, you do not have to have 1/4 or more Indian blood to be called a member of the tribe and you are aware of this, so why would you respond to these people in such a rude manner? These people are merely trying to see where "our" people fit into their past. I am confident they have researched other parts of their families just as you have; all of us who are interested in genealogy and documenting our past for our future family members have done so. You have taken a wonderful opportunity to enlighten people who are asking for your assistance but instead you attacked and responded with ugly and unnecessary posts. Do you truly believe anything you have said in your ranting posts has done anything to enlighten the ones who are asking questions? Honestly? How sad that you are so angry with yourself and your life that you have lashed out at people who are obviously asking for your help. You were given an opportunity to educate and instead you attacked. Very unnecessary and very unfair. You should feel shame for what you have said and the words you have used. If you will recall our history, all of us have some Caucasian forefathers which means white man blood flows through your veins also and you will, undoubtedly, be on many of these individuals family trees. What I am saying is, you are related to many of the very people you are attacking, including me. Take the time to offer assistance and understanding instead of destroying it.

I, myself, have finally started and been doing my own family genealogy research and study for 2 years after. You don’t know how much I appreciate all of your patience and kindness with everything that you had said. Courtina, I am still researching and studying about my own family genealogy through documentations based on factual truths, which is so important to me, especially when it comes to my own family genealogy research and study.

      Died: To 1795 (at age ‎~49‏) In: Northampton, North Carolina, United States. But through my family research and study, I think that I found her parents, which is my 6th Great Grandparents, Wurteah Corn Tassel Doublehead Gi Yo Sti Ko Yo He Bird
      Born: 1736 In: Old, Cherokee, North Carolina, United States
      Died: After 1780 In: Old Cherokee Nation, Alabama, United States

      and her supposed to be husband, john" trader john" crunk watts Watts (1/2 Blood Cherokee)
      Born: 1725 In: Bowling Green, Caroline, Virginia, USA
      Died: Circa 1803 (at age ‎~78‏) In: Fort Payne, Alabama. I’m finding it strange and not so sure about John Watts being her father since he is half Cherokee, because my 5th Great Grandmother, Celah Margaret is full blood Cherokee. As for her husband, my 5th Great Grandfather, Elisha “Long Hunter” Fly. Even though I know he is half Cherokee, I am at a loss on his side as I am trying to but unable to locate his real parents. I am also doing family genealogy research and study on my mother’s side, which I also get strong Cherokee from as well. My two families have extremely deep and strong roots that originates in Texas. My mother’s family dates back to 1840 in Texas and my father’s father dates back to 1820 in Texas. My mother’s family name is Reeves and on my mother’s side of the family, my 2nd Great Grandfather is James E. Reevs (full blood Cherokee) and his wife, my 2nd Great Grandmother is Eliza L. Pritchard/Pritchett (87.5 to full blood Cherokee). Not only am I doing my family genealogy research and study, but I am also doing deep research and study on my Cherokee tribe, Cherokee people and the history, culture and life ways of our people and I’M LOVING each and every single second of it...

  39. Also to the brave online warrior "Anonymous" - you're telling all of these "white people" to stop trying to become what their people tried to destroy so they should go research Celtic, Pictish, etc.? The vast majority of us Americans who have had ancestors here since the 1600's have ancestors on every side of every war. I have ancestors who fought to kick other ancestors off of the land on both sides of the Atlantic. Most people doing genealogy are in it for the stories. They want to know the people who came before them, what made them move, etc. Do you honestly believe that the people asking questions here are Obsessed with this one possible ancestor? I am back in the 1600's on many family lines. I follow one line until I reach a wall and get too frustrated, then go to another line which usually takes me to another part of the globe. Genealogy junkies have to follow every possible lead and ask questions where ever they are given the opportunity. I don't blow off family stories because I find conflicting information immediately. I attempt to sort out the information. What a pathetic attitude you have toward people trying to learn their families' stories!

  41. Courtina and April, miss me with that nonsense. White people aren't trying to learn about the real people. If they were they would actually seek out people like me willing to correct them and set their white behind straight. White people always wanna be handled with kiddie gloves. Egos are so frail and fragile. Even while abusing other people if those people react white people will recoil and play victim. People are trying to steal the ancestors of real living Cherokee. Making up whatever they want. Most of you are here because you read online about coming from the Moytoy family, right? Yeah. A fake Jew pretending to be a Cherokee named Donald Yates running a fake Cherokee tribe is responsible for you thinking you're Cherokee. There are only three real Cherokee tribes: CN, UKB, and EBCI. There are literally hundreds of fake Cherokee tribes around the country. Many of them incorporating New Age hippy nonsense and finding various ways to profit off of our culture from porn stars to major Hollywood actors, college professors to politicians. A Jeep is named after us. America's first motorcycle was named after us. Our people are used as mascots all across our lands in schools and professional sports teams. Let's get something straight. I don't owe you a gd thing. And if these were the old days I woulda just took several scalps and been done with it.

    After taking our lands and waging a war on us culturally now you wanna claim our ancestors also? No. You can't claim our ancestors because they aren't your ancestors. Your people are notorious liars. White Americans are the some of the most ignorant, selfish and evil human beings from human history. Some of us aren't running around claiming that we're "part" Cherokee. That's because some of us are Cherokee and know what it actually means. It doesn't mean "one drop" of Cherokee blood. That's unaka nonsense. Real Cherokee are born into a real matrilineal Clan. Our mother, her mother, her mother, her mother, and her mother before her were all Cherokee. All the way back. Some of us don't sing Christian songs in Cherokee to appease naive white tourists so they'll spend money in the casino because some of us are Wolves. Real Waya, not these corny plastic shaman unakas or their apples (red on the outside but white on the inside) always willing to please them like that traitor Attakullakulla was. Everybody wants to be an Indian . . . until they meet a real Indian. This ain't Pocahontas, lady. This is the real world.

    1. Yes, it is EXTREMELY annoying to deal with all of the lies and myths surrounding genealogy. It is a massive, insensitive pain in the ass when generations off white people decided to co-opt indigenous identities, rewrite history, play dress-up as Native Americans.

      It IS wrong. It is disgusting. It is another facet of modern day colonialism.

      But you're taking your frustrations out on the wrong people.

      These people don't know any better. They only know what they've been told. They're doing the right thing and TRYING TO RESEARCH their past instead of taking their families lies at face value...

      You're being extremely presumptuous and doing nothing but making yourself angry in the first place. No one here has commented about reclaiming a Native identity. No one here gave any indication that they're ALREADY CONVINCED THAT THEY'RE ENTITLED TO A NATIVE IDENTITY. These people are simply trying to untangle the mess of their families' pasts.


      I'm disabled, neurodivergent, transgender, bisexual, and my family is Kanaka Maoli...

      I understand struggles. I understand having to face biases and discrimination.

      But these violent, aggressive rants ("I would've taken several scalps and been done") are indicative of severe mental instability and emotional disturbance. This isn't the cause of racism. You can't play victim here. You need to discuss these thoughts and feelings with a professional (and there are many POC therapists who work exclusively with POC clientele).....

      Get help. This isn't healthy.

  42. Having a Cherokee ancestor is fascinating . . . when you're not Cherokee. It's a little sense of novelty. Something to talk with the other unakas about. It's an excuse to hang a dreamcatcher in your car mirror or to buy that really pretty prayer fan you saw while driving through New Mexico. Or maybe you just want a tattoo of a half naked woman in a headdress with a wolf and Cherokee is the go-to tribe to claim when the artist asks why you want that. I don't know if you realize it but other Indians are actually surprised that real Cherokee exist. When Wes Studi spoke in Tsalagi at the last Oscars Natives around the country flipped. White people have so thoroughly jacked our name that other Indians don't even know we're here. To white people ancestors are names to be collected in a scrapbook and chatted about over tea or lemonade or whatever y'all drink. You have no idea how difficult it is to not wanna hate you but then have to interact with you daily. Many white people never met a real Indian but every Indian knows many white people. Ever think what that is like?

  43. After sitting on my thoughts for a few days I want to point out that I understand some of you have good intentions. Others are compulsive liars and culture vultures, but some of you may actually mean well. You're not entirely to blame. You were all born in a Retro-Reality where archiving names is not just a hobby but American culture itself. And this is only getting worse with the development of the internet where past, present, and future are all being mixed together in this bizarre alternate virtual simulated space. You can go watch Jimi Hendrix live even if he died before you were born and then skip over to a live performance of Paolo Nutini singing Iron Sky live on the other side of the world and have the illusion that these two individuals exist simultaneously. Youtube is collecting and archiving everything, white people built museums (cultural mausoleums) all over the world, dug up the ancestors of non-white people, and put our reality on display for profit - declaring us entombed in your savage cemeteries. What remains now is only our ancestors who live on through us in our DNA and our religion passed down to us from them. You're misappropriating the former and making up whatever you want about them because you can't take the latter from us. You have no way of accessing our ancestors spiritually because your true tribal roots have been so deeply suppressed in you since the times of the Ancient Greeks and Romans when they were invading and conquering your ancestors culturally and calling you Barbarians and Pagans. You now worship false gods, foreign to your ancestors, and have forgotten the languages that they spoke so you can't speak to them. You can't speak to ours either and so you're lost. Archiving names, dates, events, and genealogies won't get you any closer to filling that hole within you. Only one thing can fill that hole. And nobody can tell you what it is.

    You see, all the damage that white people have done to the rest of the world as colonizers, and continue to do without even realizing you're doing it, is a form of cultural molestation. You molest others because you yourselves were molested. It's a sick pattern. The Greeks did it to the people around them. The Romans did it to the people around them. Then the Roman Empire inserted itself into the Holy Roman Church with Emperor Constantine and spread the virus all over Europe, infecting the Slavs, Vikings, Picts, Celts, and others with the dis-ease. Those Christian kingdoms then, carrying the dis-ease, became colonizers all over the world. You carry a mental virus and the only cure for it is truth. But the truth is a hard pill to swallow.

    1. Well, you were doing really good until you diagnosed "whites" with repetition compulsion, and turned history into a family of man wardrobe malfunction. It can't make you happy. Yeah, I admit making genograms seems like a family therapist fix it tool; but how would you like a child to say, "Man, I din't even know my middle name until you told me?" Well, I've heard that. There's a small child in each of us, some of them stuck in a phase, "It's mine and you can't have it!" Ask the web-master of any southern "historical society" and they will say, no you couldn't possibly have had a (Cherokee) ancestor who represented The House of Commons in 1805. I'm not Cherokee and even I want to slap them; like you said, just give me the truth! I'ts in the DNA.
      Why did my white father take us kids on "hunts" all over the state, collecting flora and fauna, exploring the river, forests, and bogs, only allowed to collect every third one; no one told him that. Why was my first instinct to dig mud from a crawdad tunnel and make "pottery" for my English tea set? Why did I make Mayan heads when I had never seen one, causing my instructor to say, "A different kind of mind made this."
      People have always made up myths, for various reasons good and bad. Today they are called Fandoms. What a nuisance. Just think of them as phantoms. You know what I mean. I don't study Cherokee, but they have come to me and told me about how white medicine can kill a native baby with jaundice. No surprise there, they can kill a white baby just as well. Or a white adult for that matter! But I don't go around yelling at them; I make them want to ask me. Then I tell them. I don't say, hey Doc, that's a stupid question; I'm tired of your stupid medicine; get a degree in something else. No, I don't! I agree, all remains of ancient people should be kept in Warehouse 13, no one allowed to know their secret powers! They didn't sign a donation card, so, hey let's make science so ugly they won't discover any more cures to anything, or bring an ancestor back to life who was promised it would happen, and is waiting for it to happen. It will! Not in my lifetime but it will. If you don't know that then you are not listening, nor seeing and nothing will take the scales from your eyes, no matter what your ethnicity.
      Embrace what you have, pay it forward, do it for the children!

    2. What does one do with a bratty child who was raised to do and say whatever they want to whoever they want, whenever they want and however they want? There is only one thing to do. Spank them. Until they can't stand. That way they learn that some of us won't tolerate it. Then let them cry it out and ignore their tears. When it passes help them up, dust them off, and sternly let them know that next time it will be worse and that it will get worse each time until they learn that they will be expected to behave like a human being and not a savage. No other group of people on earth have behaved like white people all over the planet. That is going to stop. And if it doesn't then white people are going to have problems because the rest of the world is fed up now.

    3. I find you and your views debatable,yet fascinating! Are you a writer? Our great grandmother was full blood Cherokee. And to this day my siblings still cannot make proper eye contact with others as mamma would never very long to anyone. Momma was slapped and beaten in the southern Illinois orphanage for doing so. Her fullblood grandmother rescued her and her siblings and raised them. She and her new husband ran a boarding house in Southern Illinois. Her only daughter had married a much older Irish drunk. She died on a table giving birth, while my mother and her siblings watched their mother..through a key hole die on this table. My mothers father could not care for his three children. Our older siblings remembered great grandmother well.. until the early 60s when she died with no birth certificate in the nursing facility. She gave them no info..no name of her parents, just that she came from Missouri. She was a tiny woman, ran her house with rod in hand...we have a few pictures of her. This is just one story about a family that was saved by their Cherokee grandmother. Yes two siblings had dna done..complex as you know. You must understand the importance of others family history because of who you are. Peace

  44. [Continued from above]

    If you have to study the Cherokee to learn about the Cherokee it's because you're not Cherokee. Real cultures are lived from the moment you're born until the moment you die. They're not a hobby. You can't be one foot in a culture. You're either in it or you're not, immersed fully or just playing a part. A Cherokee without a real Cherokee community is just an American who may or may not have Indian ancestors (because not all real Cherokee were Indians - some were black and others were white, but they lived as Cherokee . . . they spoke Cherokee, their religion was Cherokee, their whole reality was shaped through their Cherokee mind's eye). What "white" people don't realize is that they invented the "white" way of thinking. They invented their "white" identity. It was always dependent upon not being Indian or Black. So there is a "white" way of thinking. It is capitalism, individualism, the selfish trinity of Father Me, Mother Me, and Child Me - all three of Me in I.

    You can't be educated to the truth because it would require a lifetime of unlearning the lies before you could even begin to rebuild. And in the process some unaka would come along and misappropriate whatever was said, twist it up, package it, market it, and sell it. Just as they did Christianity. Jesus' real name was Joshua (Yeshua). Didn't even keep his name right.

    1. I'm curious as to the source data of Henry Chandler. I have definitive proof that I am descended from him, yet my Ancestry DNA does not list any native American lineage. Can you give me references to Amasa being the mother of Henry? I have been trying to piece this part of my family tree together for many years. Thanks!

      Delete
    2. Your name is Jeff Castle, so I'm assuming you're a male and your father was also named Castle. That means you don't come from a direct male line back to Henry Chandler. Your Y Chromosome (the male chromosome from your paternal line) is from the Castle surname, whatever they were. As a male that only leaves you with your X maternal line and there is no way that your X chromosome goes back to Henry Chandler and his mother Amasvyi Conseen-Chandler. Your DNA would show a connection to Henry Chandler if, and only if, you are a Chandler directly descended from him. And the Chandler male line isn't Native.

      With that aside, it is a myth that the Cherokee were ever a homogeneous racial group. Sequoyah's English name was George Gist because his father was Nathaniel Gist. His grandfather was Christopher Gist, mentor to President George Washington. Sequoyah's name wasn't even Cherokee. It was Sephardic (Spanish Jewish) because his mother's name was Verde Sequeyra, daughter of Dr. John Sequeyra (personal doctor to President George Washington's step-daughter). Both Christopher Gist and Dr. John Sequeyra (his grandfathers) were Jewish on his father and mother's side. There is zero evidence anywhere in existence to support that Sequoyah was "Native American". His mother's mother may have been Cherokee by clan but with adoption of war captives and adoption of people who were considered good friends into various clans even if she was it wouldn't tell you anything at all about her genetic markers.

      Cherokee identity is rooted in the Cherokee community, language, culture, religion and traditions (kept very tight in certain circles). It isn't rooted in federal recognition, treaty signatures, or some imaginary blood quantum nonsense as many seem to think. Not with the Kituwa, anyway.

    3. Apologies, I forgot to answer your question.

      Thomas Chandler filed for his Revolutionary War pension in 1827 at a Virginia Court (now West Virginia). At that time he was remarried to an older white woman who was about his age. I believe he was 64 or 65 in 1827 (going by memory on this and it's not really of interest to me so I might be mistaken). The woman he was married to in 1827 wasn't Amasvyi (Amasa). Amasvyi was dead. The woman he was married to was way too old to be Henry Chandler's mother if she was born in 1763-64. Henry was born in 1815. That would mean the woman married to Thomas Chandler in 1827 was about 50 when he was born.

      Amasvyi Conseen (Amasa Chandler) was born in 1782 at Chilhowee. Amasa's mother was a daughter of the Cherokee chief Old Abram. Amasa's father was Cheucunsene (Dragging Canoe). Her brothers were Cheusdi Conseen (Little Dragging Canoe) and Chuleo Conseen (Young Dragging Canoe). Her father's brother was known as Chuleo Shoeboots. Cheucunsene's mother was was Natchez woman called Ollie Nionee by the Cherokee. Her father was Obalalkabiche, the Natchez "Plumed Serpent". His mother was the Natchez high priestess named "Tattooed Arm" because she had a full sleeve tattoo of a feathered serpent. Attakullakulla was married to Ollie, the mother of Dragging Canoe, which is why a lot of people seem to think Cheucunsene was his son. He wasn't his son. He was just Dragging Canoe's mother's husband. That relationship meant nothing to him as he was raised by Oconostota. Most of the things being taught as "Cherokee history" are taken from fictions written between 1850-1950. It is commonly even taught Dragging Canoe died in 1792. Is pure nonsense. He met with President Madison in Washington D.C. in 1816 after helping Andrew Jackson defeat the Red Sticks (Northern Creeks). His name even appears last on the Treaty of Washington 1816 as Cheucunsene (Canoe Dragger). Right after the young John Watts. He was 84 at the time. Every book talking about Dragging Canoe says he died in 1792. Dead men don't meet with Presidents and sign Treaties. Lot of covering up with our history by the Moravian Missionaries went down during the 1820s and 1830s. Intentionally.

    4. Self-Correction (Error)

      I stated that he signed after John Watts. It was actually the young John Ross. John Watts was another protege of his who took over leadership of the Chickamauga in 1792 when Dragging Canoe stepped aside at age 60. His name appears here, right after John Ross. It's written as Cheucunsene. Dragging Canoe actually lived in Southeastern Kentucky among white people as an old man after signing this treaty. They had no clue. He's buried in southeast Kentucky. Right next to Amasa. Two traditional stone piles side by side on private land. Is near Indian Grave Kentucky, not too far from Cherokee Creek Rd.

    6. If you don't speak Hebrew and are not Judean don't drag Judeans and the Hebrew language into matters you know nothing about to make a point about a martyred Nazarite Judean man turned into an idol by invading and conquering people. Yeshua ישוע =/= Joshua יהושע. Calling someone a "fake Jew" when they are is shitty.

      The energy you brought to this space was full of vile hatred and much putting the cart before the horse. Making accusations of peoples, using specific cultures to make points when it's clear you don't have any genuine concern for those cultures and what survival looks like for them. Meanwhile, infantilizing Indigenous Turtle Islanders acting as if there was not inter-tribal violence and war before Europeans ever step foot here. Does it justify colonization? No. But ask yourself, cast your gaze south for a good example - which smaller tribes suffered for empires to be built for the Aztecs, the Mayans, the Incas - the violence humans inflict upon each other is not unique to Europe. It's just been most documented and dispersed.
      Your anger is justified but you are allowing it to distort and manipulate your entire worldview and how you connect with other people.
      Do you deny right of ancestral connection to Black people - their right to connect with ALL their ancestors? Do you deny right of anyone of darker skin tone to connect with any ancestor and culture they have been disconnected from as a result of colonization? If not, then why do you believe you have a right to deny a person you perceive as white/European this connection? If you would not deny a brown skinned person who is disconnected from their culture and ancestors, why would you deny a white skinned person who is disconnected from their cultures and ancestors?
      Child. You are not judge, jury, and executioner. Remove that, as you say, white nonsense, from your mentality.

  58. I have an ancestor through the Dameron line, Agatha Owl, which I have seen mentioned several times on this thread. I also noticed someone asking if anyone had Native American DNA with this ancestor, and I do. However, this ancestor is from my paternal side and I suspect the East Asian/Native American is most likely from my maternal side. With that being said though, and this is very controversial, from what I have researched, the Cherokee tribe were found to have very little, if any East Asian DNA. They were more likely closely related to North African, Jewish, and Turkish peoples, all of which I have in my DNA also. Eastern woodland tribes do not show up on DNA tests as Native American or Asian, simply because they were of a different genetic lot. All you have to do is compare the body size and facial features of the different regions. Western/south western natives are shorter and much more Asiatic in appearance. Eastern woodland/Appalachian natives had much more of a Semitic look, Egyptian like. There were multiple migrations to the American continents. History, as we have been told, is far from the truth, for everyone, not just the natives.

I have shared information with the closest elder I have, presented a gift of tobacco, and was blessed with a native name. I still want to find out more about Aggie and find the scroll number. I am wanting to respectfully represent my heritage and pass it along to my son. I am designing a headdress, design b bead work, feathers, all mean something to me.
