	TN Encyclopedia: YUCHI INDIANS
		The earliest mention of Yuchis in Tennessee is found in the Spanish de Soto expedition narratives (1539-43), where they are referred to as the Chisca and located in the highlands north of the Tennessee River.
		In 1673 one band of Yuchis reportedly lived in a stockaded or fortified town somewhere along the headwaters of the Tennessee River, possibly on the French Broad River near the confluence with the Holston River.
		The Cherokees referred to this Yuchi town as Tsistu'yi, or "Rabbit place." A band of Cherokees from the middle towns, led by the warriors Flint and Caesar, destroyed this settlement in the spring of 1714, possibly in retaliation for the murder of a Cherokee.

		Dance songs are an important part of Yuchi culture, playing a central role in the continuing practice of traditional Yuchi religious ritual and serving as the focus for the inter-tribal social dances that link the Yuchi to other Woodland peoples in Oklahoma.
		While words in the Yuchi language are sometimes incorporated into Yuchi ceremonial and dance songs, most of the vocal text consists of vocables or sung syllables that carry the melody of the song.
		While our current collaboration with Yuchi singers focuses on recording and analyzing songs, stories like this one make clear that understanding the significance of songs in Yuchi life requires understanding the larger cultural context in which songs are used and made meaningful.

		The Yuchi constituted a linguistic stock, the Uchean, distinct from all others, though structurally their speech bears a certain resemblance to the languages of the Muskhogean and Siouan families.
		Owing to the number of Yuchi bands, their frequent changes in location, and the various terms applied to them, an exact estimate of their numbers at any period is very difficult.
		The Yuchi have attained an altogether false reputation as the supposed aborigines of the Gulf region.

		Today, despite the existence of a separate language and their distinct history, culture, and religious traditions, the Yuchis are not recognized as a sovereign people by the Creek Nation or the United States.
		For many Yuchis, traditional rituals remain important to their identity, and they feel an obligation to perform and renew them each year at one of three ceremonial grounds, called "Big Houses." The Big House acts as a periodic gathering place for the Yuchis, their Creator, and their ancestors.

	Native Americans - Yuchi
		TRIBE NAME: : Yuchi, which means "situated yonder at a distance," was the response of several tribe members to the inquiry, "Who are you?" or "Whence come you?" The Yuchi refer to themselves as "TSO-YA-HA," or "children of the sun." The name is often spelled phonetically as Euchee or Uchee.
		But because they were part of the Creek Confederacy (during the 17th century's colonial Indian wars), Yuchi have often been counted as Creek Indians, but they lived in separate tribal towns even after they - along with the Creek - were forced to migrate west to Indian Territory in 1836.
		Public religious worship is performed by the whole town in a complex annual ceremony tied to the corn harvest.
