The Yuchi Tribe call themselves Tsoyaha, Children of the Sun (mound builders). Yuchi means principle people. Today they live in several locations. Around 1700, they lived in north central Tennessee/southern Kentucky. My grandmother, Ova Short Suddeth, was born near the site of an 1820 village in Turkey Neck Bend, Kentucky, presumably Yuchi, her ancestors.
