YOKAIA YONAGUSKA

Mezieres among the Tonkawa. This is 

 one of several indications that the Yojua- 

 ne tribe was absoibed by the Tonkawa 

 in the latter hah" of the IStli century. 

 In 1819 Juan Antonio de Padilla wrote 

 in his report on tlie Texas Indians that a 

 tribe of 190 people called "Yuganis," 

 and having customs like the "Cado," 

 lived "east ot Nacodocheson the Nechas 

 river." Tenin, in 1828, called what ap- 

 pears to be the same tribe the ' ' Yguanes. ' ' 

 These names suggest tlie Yojuane, whom 

 they may possibly have been, but it 

 seems improbable that they were identi-

 1819, MS.; Teran, Noticia, in Bol. Soc.

Yonaguska (properly Yd'nUi-gun^sk'i, 

 'The bear drowns him,' whence his 

 common name 'Drowning-bear' ). The 

 adopted father of Col. Wm. H. Thomas, 

 and the most prominent chief in the 

 history of the East Cherokee, although, 

 singularly enough, his name does not 

 occur in connection with any of the 

 early wars or treaties. This is due 

 partly to the fact that he was a peace 

 chief and counselor rather than a war 

 leader, and in part to the fact that the 

 isolated position of the mountain Chero- 

 kee kept them aloof, in a great measure, 

 from the tribal councils of those liv- 

 ing to the w. and s. In person he was 

 strikingly handsome, being 6 ft 3 in. in 

 height and strongly built, with a faint 

 tinge of red, due to a slight strain of 

 white blood on his father's side, reliev- 

 ing the brown of his cheeks. In power of 

 oratory he is sai<l to have surpassed any 

 otiier chief of his day. When the Cher- 

 okee lands on Tuckasegee r. were sold by 

 the treaty of 1819, Yonaguska continued 

 to reside on a reservation of 640 acres in 

 a bend of the river a short distance above
