People of One Fire Youtube Channel is now operational!

Sorry for making you folks wait so long, but Microsoft released the “Professional Level” PowerPoint 2018 software before working out all the bugs. It took 19 recording sessions of the first part of our series on the Petroglyphs of North Georgia for the artificial intelligence in my business computer to fix the bugs. Part One is on line. Parts Two – Four will be quickly posted during the next two days. I will be using more and more of the bells and whistles of this software as we go along, but one has to crawl before one walks!

Great job Richard !
Thank you! The next ones will be better. I had to really burn the midnight oil to get the software working right. The program has the capability to be a frame for multiple video films. When I start doing that, the shows will become more visually stimulating.
And I love hearing the correct pronunciation of people, places and tribes!
Woo Hoo!!!
We’re getting there! LOL
Richard, Great work!! Clearly you are on the right path about the same peoples inhabiting locations in Europe and the Eastern U.S for the Copper / Bronze age. Same earth works, same symbols and some same basic word/ sound connections along with the DNA data should be enough to convince many people.
That being said the map of 1701 includes the word “Chiraches” in eastern Tennessee perhaps a early form of the word other Native people would call the “Cherokee”. The “Togha” peoples later called “Tokah” living close by on the little Tennessee. The Yuche / Euchee people should have lore about the “Duhare” people living in Western North Carolina in the 1500’s as they close by to them as well? In any case the history books will have to be rewritten about the many peoples that migrated to the South East.
Great job Richard! Thank you for all you do to bring the facts to light!
Great job, Richard. Onward now to view the next one!!!
Thanks for perservering,… again!
Would like to know where I could see more research on the people of TUCKABATCHEE. I found info on Dawes of my great grand mother and her mother; her grandparents where last known to be in TUCKABATCHEE … this is where our research has ended, unfortunately.
After reading your post re THE UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF TUCKABATCHEE, I had to laugh because of your reference to the spotted ones … freckles (lots of freckles) run in our bloodline and we were dumbfounded as to where we got them … we thought possibly our lineage mixed with Ulster Scots and that is how we ended up as “spotted ones” 😀 I know that my relatives settled in Oklahoma and then later Texas. As was told to me, we are Creek originally and my generation is the last to be afforded roll numbers.
If only I could go back in time, I would to love to know more. And, of course, this was just one side of my Indian Ancestory (my father’s maternal side … his father was also of Indian ancestory from another tribal area I am still researching.)
Any recommends for research further would greatly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Hey Carey Ann . . . the problem is that the academicians, who present themselves as experts on the Creeks, have very superficial knowledge. Most don’t even know what our words mean. Even the Creek professors at the University of Oklahoma didn’t know what Tuckabatchee meant. They have been gone from the south a long, long time. I do have one bit of information that you might find interesting. Tokahpasi (Tuckabatchee) was originally on the Chattahoochee River near Six Flags Over Georgia then moved to the Tallapoosa River then moved back to the Chattahoochee River in 1776. It stayed in Georgia until 1825. The word Tokah itself is Irish and means “Elite” or “the best”. The Creeks changed the meaning to freckled because the Irish immigrants were freckled.
Thank you Richard, I appreciate your quick response and I am definitely going to keep up the hunt. We have a mix of Creek (father’s maternal side) and Cherokee (father’s fraternal side) in our bloodline … both sides mixed with Scots (possibly English & Irish, as well). Should I find anything more of interest, I will definitely share ! LOL, yes, freckles are the best 🐆
For now, back down the rabbit hole I go !!
