The Yamacraw Indians were a small band that existed from the late 1720s to the mid-1740s in the Savannah, Georgia area. First led by Tomochichi and then by his nephew and heir Toonahowi, they consisted of about two hundred people and contained a mix of Lower Creeks and Yamasees. Most eventually reintegrated themselves with the Lower Creeks to avoid future confrontation with European intruders.GSE identifier: SS8H2, SS2H1text/htmlengNew Georgia EncyclopediaForms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC/1.0/Forms part of the New Georgia Encyclopedia.Toonahowi, d. 1743Yamassee Indians--History--18th centuryIndians of North America--GeorgiaTomo-chi-chi, -1739Georgia--History--Colonial period, ca. 1600-1775Yamacraw IndiansText
