Regarding the picuture

edit

Although the .jpg accompanying this article is entitled "Oconostota" on Wiki Commons, according to the Smithsonian Institute it is rather of Standing Turkey, done in 1762.Chuck Hamilton (talk) 16:48, 19 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Not colonial

edit

Colonial implies at some level being under the power of a foriegn authorit. Standing Turkey never recognied auhority beyond the Cherokees. He should not be classed as colonial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 23:04, 17 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

This is one of a number of discussions (started by John Pack Lambert) that are forked from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 November 16#Category:Tennessee colonial people. Rather than conduct discussions of this topic in a dozen different places, let's have just one discussion. Please continue the discussion at the WP:CFD page. --Orlady (talk) 06:08, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Is this person not the same as Oconostota at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oconostota? Oconostota was clearly one of the three who visited London in 1762 and whose portrait was made as Cunne Shote; he had wire-rimmed eyeglasses made for him in England that were found in his grave in the late 20th century. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wilsonpam (talkcontribs) 03:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Wilsonpam, I actually have brought up the same issue in several places. See my last attempt here at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America/Archive 11#Issues with Anglo-Cherokee War-era Cherokee leaders. That discussion didn't really get anywhere, and I'm convinced a general shuffling about (as I discuss in that comment) is needed. Also, be sure the sign your posts by adding four "tildes" in a row after your talk page comments. Cdtew (talk) 03:27, 22 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
