While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
I- North
Carolina Indian Villages, Towns and
Settlements
A complete listing of all the Indian
villages, towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of
Mexico.
Ibitoupa. A small tribe of unknown affinity, but the
theory that they were connected with the Chickasaw has more arguments in its
favor than any other. In 1699 they formed one of the villages mentioned by
Iberville (Margry, Dec., iv, 180, 1880) as situated on Yazoo r., Ibitoupa
being near the upper end of the group between the Chaquesauma (Chakchiuma) and
the Thysia (Tioux) , according to the order named, which appears to be
substantially correct, although Coxe (Carolana, 10, 1741) who omits Thysia,
makes the Ibitoupa settlement expressly the uppermost of the series. The
Ibitoupa and Chakchiuma, together with the Tapoucha (Taposa), were united in one
village on the upper Yazoo by 1798. What eventually became of them is not known,
but it is probable that they were absorbed by the Chickasaw. See Itomapa.
(A. S. G.)
Itseyi (Itséyĭ,
new green place, or 'place of fresh green'; often falsely rendered 'Brasstown',
from the confusion of Itséyĭ
and Uñtsaiyĭ,
the latter term signifying brass). The name of several former Cherokee
settlements. One was on Brasstown cr. of Tugaloo r., in Oconee co., S. C. ;
another was on Little Tennessee r., near the present Franklin, Macon co., N. C.,
and probably about the junction of Cartoogaja cr. ; a third, known to the whites
as Brasstown, was on upper Brasstown cr. of Hiwassee r., Towns co., Ga. Mooney
in 19th Rep. B. A. E., 523, 1900.
