No further reproduction is authorized without written permission from Duke University Press. This version of the document is not the version of record. Figures and/or pictures may be missing from this format of the document. *** Abstract: This essay reinterprets the life of a famous Muscogee Creek leader and examines the relationship between chiefly power and foreign travel in American Indian studies and Atlantic world studies. In spring 1734, the Creek headman Tomochichi and British imperialist James Edward Oglethorpe traveled to London to ratify a treaty that established the British colony of Georgia in the neighborhood of the Creek Confederacy. During his five-month sojourn, Tomochichi forged alliances with the Georgia trustees and the British royal family that resulted in a unique trans- Atlantic network of patronage. Upon return home, he leveraged his ocean-going imperial connections to craft an authoritative chieftainship that dated to the seventeenth-century Mississippian era. Keywords: history | ethnohistory | muscogee creek | chieftains | native american studies | atlantic world studies | Tomochichi Article: At the turn of the twentieth century, anthropologist John Reed Swanton recorded the origins of the Hitchiti Creeks, who spoke the Hitchiti dialect of the Muscogean (mus-KO-gee-an) language family.

  • 1 Social Studies, Grade 2 Week 6 (September 21-25, 2020)
    Social Studies, Grade 2 Week 6 (September 21-25, 2020) Friday Step 1: Summarize the learning your student has engaged in during the last three weeks of Social Studies. Use the following points to help your student understand that the founding of Georgia was a process and necessitated cooperation, friendship, and leadership amongst Oglethorpe, Tomochichi, and Musgrove. This collaborative work also led to the establishment of Savannah as Georgia’s first city because of its prime location and economic prospects. Use some of the following points to guide your student in synthesizing the information that s/he has learned: • James Oglethorpe, an English settler, was interested in setting up a new colony to provide a way for poor men to avoid debt and prison and be able to live a good life. • Ultimately, military and economic issues were the main factors for creating a new colony, and King George II granted a charter for starting an English colony. • James Oglethorpe and other English settlers, who had skills necessary for the colony’s success, sailed to America. • James Oglethorpe wanted to settle on land that belonged to the Creek Indians. • Tomochichi, Chief of the Yamacraw Indians, became friends with Oglethorpe and allowed colonists to settle on Yamacraw Bluff near Savannah River to trade with the English. • Tomochichi traveled to England and convinced his people the English had good intentions of colonizing the land in Georgia. • Oglethorpe and Tomochichi worked together to develop the major city of Savannah, located on Yamacraw Bluff. • Mary Musgrove, daughter of an English trader and Creek Indian mother, served as a translator for Tomochichi and Oglethorpe and helped the peaceful relationship between Indians and colonists by operating a trading post in Savannah.

    Georgia Studies Teacher Notes for the Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies The Teacher Notes were developed to help teachers understand the depth and breadth of the standards. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Please remember that the goal of social studies is not to have students memorize laundry lists of facts, but rather to help them understand the world around them so they can analyze issues, solve problems, think critically, and become informed citizens. Children’s Literature: A list of book titles aligned to the 6th-12th Grade Social Studies GSE may be found at the Georgia Council for the Social Studies website: https://www.gcss.net/site/page/view/childrens-literature The glossary is a guide for teachers and not an expectation of terms to be memorized by students. In some cases, information provided in this document goes beyond the scope of the standards and can be used for background and enrichment information. Terms in Red are directly related to the standards. Terms in Black are provided as background and enrichment information. TEACHER NOTES GEORGIA STUDIES Historic Understandings SS8H1 Evaluate the impact of European exploration and settlement on American Indians in Georgia. People inhabited Georgia long before its official “founding” on February 12, 1733. The land that became our state was occupied by several different groups for over 12,000 years. The intent of this standard is for students to recognize the long-standing occupation of the region that became Georgia by American Indians and the ways in which their culture was impacted as the Europeans sought control of the region.

  • Colonial Georgia Educational Field Trip
    Colonial Georgia Educational Field Trip Pre-Trip Information Stone Mountain Park is home to the Thornton House, one of the oldest buildings in the state of Georgia. Built just after the Revolutionary War, it is the same Virginia cottage style home that was commonly found in Williamsburg. Your students will learn how a family lived in the past when Georgia was one of the 13 original colonies. Students will visit, and be guided through, this Revolutionary-era house which originally was part of an indigo plantation. They will get a chance to see what Georgia was like when America was becoming an independent nation. Interpreters will also bring this period to life for your students with live, interactive demonstrations throughout the Historic Square. Teachers and students may spend as much time as they wish exploring the rest of the buildings and examining artifacts located in the Historic Square. Your program also includes a visit to our Farmyard. This area features heritage livestock breeds that would have been kept on a Georgia farm in the mid 1800s. Here your students can interact with friendly farm animals while learning about the important roles the animals played in the lives of civilians. Also included in this field trip is a self guided tour of Memorial Hall Museum located across the street from the Square. This program runs approximately 60-90 minutes. How to prepare your students for the program and trip: Students should be reading and learning about colonial times in Georgia. Talk about and discuss the 13 original colonies, particularly what life was like in colonial Georgia and how the lifestyle and dress compare to present day.

  • A Short History of Skidaway Island
    A SHORT HISTORY OF SKIDAWAY ISLAND Digital Edition 2021 V.E. KELLY When A Short History of Skidaway Island was originally published in 1980, negro was still an accepted term by many. In consultation with the University of Georgia Scholarly Publishing Services, the decision was made to replace negro with black or African American in the 2021 edition of the book, except when the word is used in quotations from historic documents. Although these changes were made, the book is still a product of its time, and some of the language and concepts used herein may be considered inappropriate by today’s readers. Nevertheless, the work is reproduced in an effort to present a record of historical significance that we hope sparks conversation on these issues, as well as to share the book’s important documentation of Skidaway’s natural, geological, and human history. ISBN 978-0-8203-6073-7 ABOUT THIS DIGITAL EDITION For all those who live on, work on or visit Skidaway Island, this history is illuminating and we are in debt to the late V. E. Kelly (1915–2008) for his work on the project. Long out of print, this 2021 digital edition is made possible by the University of Georgia Scholarly Publishing Services, sponsored by UGA Marine Extension & Sea Grant under the leadership of Dr. Mark Risse who leads the Marine Education Center and Aquarium and the Shellfish Research lab and Oyster Hatchery on UGA’s Skidaway campus. They share this University of Georgia campus with the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography on the north end of Skidaway Island and it is an important site for marine research, education and outreach.

Johnson 2018 ABSTRACT This dissertation argues that colonial Yamasee communities moved hundreds of miles throughout the present-day Southeastern United States, often to gain influence, and maintained traditions such as names they more closely associated with their ethnicity and authority than ceramics. Self-identification by Yamasees in censuses, speeches, and letters for a century and archaeological evidence from multiple towns allows me to analyze multiple expressions of their identity.
