Cherokee tale of a race of little people who were said to inhabit the wilds of North Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia called the Nunne’hi, meaning “people who live anywhere,” as well as the Yûñwï Tsunsdi’, or “Little People.” No higher than a man’s knee, and imbued with various powers such as the ability to vanish at will, teleport from place to place, and the ability to live forever.

"Now, let us delve into the mystical realm," Shunkmanu said with a knowing smile. "The spiritual influence of the stars may seem mysterious, but ponder this: our vast universe is like a grand body.

Keetoowah, 'the people of Kituhwagi', named after the ancient nucleus city of the Cherokee. The Legend of the Keetoowahs places the tribe on an island in the Atlantic Ocean east of South America.

When the earth was first made, it was covered all over with water except for one small island. This island was at the top of a high mountain.

The Seventh Prophet was younger than the others who had come and there was a glowing light from his eyes. He said that there would come a time when the waters had been so poisoned that the animals and plants that lived there would fall sick and begin to die.
