Sequoyah was born George Gist and nicknamed little lame one in Cherokee
He was half white and half Cherokee but rejected his white side, never learned English

7. John Ross (1790-1846) Ross was the head chief of the Cherokee nation
Also of Mixed heritage and like the Creek chiefs practiced many European customs
