then from http://chickamaugacherokee.org/ChiefOconostota/
ALTERNATE NAMES: Oconostota, Oconastota Moytoy, Cunne Shote, Warrior of Chota, Stalking Turkey (a name which causes confusion with his uncle Kanagatucko, who was known as “Standing Turkey”), Groundhog Sausage, Beloved Warrior, First Warrior, Great Warrior, Skiagunsta Chote
ALTERNATE SPELLINGS: Oconastota, Oconostata, Oganatoga, Shote is a variant of Chote or Choat or Choate, Cumnacatogue
it seems similar. but looks more like or exactly like the
” uncles “name ( if it is really only the uncles spelling of a name ) . but for now I am not convinced it is a match. it is all very very close though. and he looks similar also.
but is he the same man? and we know he did not die . but that can be an assumption the whites had about ‘widows’ ,
‘divorce’ or even ‘wifes” and those in native culture isn’t the same thing either.
