The article by John Wall went out by
mistake. We were considering sending

parts. We received the article from
Craig White who originally published
it in his magazine
on the Origin of Nations.

Origins
Cherokee is the approved anglicised
from of the name rendered Tsalagi
in the Cherokee laanguage, a name found
spelled in nearly fifty
different ways in historical records.
One authority has suggested
that the term was probably applied
to the Cherokee from the language
of a Muskhogean tribe to signify "people
of a different speech." The
Choctaw, whose language was long the
trade medium in the Southeast,
called the Cherokee CHALAKKI, this
having been recorded in early
Spanish records as the name of the
"Province of Chalaque," a part of
the historic habitation of the tribe
in what is now western North
Carolina, which was visted byt he De
Soto in 1540. Since the
Cherokee were a mountain people living
in the Southern Appalachian
highland, the usual interpretation
of Chalakki has been "cave
people," from the Choctaw work chuluk
or chiluk meaning cave. The
name is analagous to "Rock People"
of the ancient Huron, a related
Iroguoian confederacy, among whom the
"Tobacco Nation," suggests that
the Cherokee term Tsalagi might be
mnemonic signifying "Ancient
Tobacco People," from their name for
wild tobacco tsal-agayun li from
the Cherokee words tsalu, "tobacco"
and agayun li, "old" or "ancient".
The Cherokee refern to themselves in
their own language as Ani-Yun
wiya meaning principal people. In some
of the oldest tribal
ceremonials, they referred to themselves
an Ani Kitu' hwagi,
signifying " People of Kituwha. The
Cherokee are well built, are
primarily of the "round hed" type,
and are medium to tall in height.
The fullblood men usually have more
of an olive than a dark
complexion, and some of the women are
fairer, the tribe having been
noted for its beautiful girls, especially
among the mixed bloods.
The Cherokee are known for their quick
tempers, and some of their
friends have said that they are shrewd
and crafty in their dealings.
They are steady and dignified in their
deportment and cheerful in
disposition. They have been noted for
their bravery and courage in
defense of their country and in the
maintenance of their rights as a
people. A Cherokee legend that tells
of a prehistoric migration from
a land toward the rising sun was lost
a a very early period.
