I AM FLOORED!

Wow, is all I can say! I just got a hold of a Yuchi Historian! YAY! EXCITED!! But, as I was asking for landmarks and such he began to tell me that the state of Tenneessee doe not reconize the Yuchi to ever have lived there!?!? Which to me is funny because the Yuchi is who named Tennessee. The yuchi word is "Tana-see" meaning the meeting place! Wow! So, I will not be looking at anything of use when I go to my trip to the mountains that will say yes the Yuchi was here. But, they do have a lake and there is yuchi artifacts of such at the bottom of it! He was super nice to speak with and he also has a website! Take a look it is full of great information!
