I am just so sick of that idea that somehow everyone is lying .
first of all there is a lady Named Queen Aliquippa who's first husband was Oconostota Beloved man of Chota and 1/2 king of the nation , then her great great grandma was Lady Cofitachiqui Queen of the CATAWBA ( GOOGLE DESOTO ) a Siouan speaking people , they were sundancers like mayans who all had been Menaced by Menes . Then add about 1400 years and in her same clan and not her grandma but a cousin Queen Yolik'nal of the Mayan came from North America also so called "sun worshipers" but that is another story . the lady known as Lady Cofitachiqui ( this is not her name , it is what she is called by Desoto) escaped at the Coosa River , her confederation of thus mixed tribes became known as the Creeks.
see Cornstock and history and he dies while living with the Creeks as well as Attakullkulla dies with the Creeks . because they are one and the same man, and not really cherokee only remembered most as that name and as Cherokee , of course everyone wanted to steal his identity and make it their own . because most of the few offspring who lived were known as Cherokee-ish ( though rejected by the cherokee by clan laws they didn't even hold too ) they were children and grandchildren of Half king Oconostota the beloved man of Chota .
SO by clan they were not really cherokee any of them . Aliquippa oldest daughter Ollie/ Alli Nionee's husband who was Elected king of many tribes including the Cherokee . He was murdered in cold blood under a flag of truce .
But Queen Aliquippa and her twin sister Snow in Face (mother or grandmother of Tecumpsey )was Abducted to 6 nations and Alliquippa died being known as Seneca and Onondaga , Snow died being known as Shawnee . their kids and grandkids the few who survived yellow creek and the Paxtons ( see Conostoga affair at William Penns) , a Few were known as Onondaga ( Logan and Petty ) also said they had cherokee blood , shawnee ( Tecumseh - Collins and and I think Bayless or Bails/ Bales sp? also known to have cherokee blood ) , most of the few who survived were known as Creek or Cherokee part bloods most where full blooded but not full blooded cherokee . the rest died and murdered with in just 25 years of Aliquippa excepting tribute from George Washington these include great men like Chief Logan and his family and all of the Andaste/Conostoga living at William Penns who were murder in cold blood. that tribute that won't happen ever again!
you see there was princesses and truly Queens from ancient authorities , but they just weren't really cherokee, they were related to a few great cherokee , the Beloved man of Chota and to Moytoy's family but they were not , not cherokee on the female line .
so before you say something like that again.
please just don't !
