Etowah[edit]

"Etowah", also called High (Town) Place or Galvladiyi, is most likely a Cherokee perversion of the Muscogee word “Italwah”. It was used by the Cherokee and is found on many maps of the time. The Cherokee town called "Etowah" was located at the confluence of the Etowah and Oostanaula Rivers where they form the Coosa River. Cherokee usually named their towns after people, rivers or landmarks they are associated with. There was a village called Oostanaula on the Oostanaula River as part of New Echota which I call the "Cherokee Metropolis" (tongue-in-cheek) because it actually contained three villages in one, including Oostanaula. Other towns were named after the Muscogee/Creek/Catawba located there too. Nacoogee (Nacoochee), Tallulah (Talulah), Estatowah (Estatoe) are just a few examples. American Indians were very attuned to the sacred things of life. Beyond just naming towns after sacred rivers was also the aspect of naming them after or maintaining the names of sacred locations, even those of other American Indian nations. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 19:22, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Museum emptied out[edit]

The museum at Etowah has been emptied out and no longer displays any artifacts, at least for the time being. Article needs to be updated accordingly 2601:14F:C001:F370:619F:C967:2510:B5A6 (talk) 03:25, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Can you point to a reliable source saying this? Such changes must be verifiable. Donald Albury 12:29, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Stinging Nettle and Paper Mulberry[edit]

I'm seeing Stinging Nettle and Paper Mulberry claimed as plants used by the inhabitants of Etowah, but those are both plants introduced after European contact as far as I can tell. Not sure if this is mistakenly attributed due to historical usage of these plants, or if these plants have been found in an archeological setting. There is no citation given for that information... Impakta off (talk) 22:37, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Searching Google Scholar for "etowah mound stinging nettle" returns a number of hits for articles that apparently report on stinging nettles fibers used in woven materials found at Etowah. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to access any of those articles, even through the Wikipedia Library. I don't have the spare time to pursue this, but there may be something out there. Donald Albury 00:08, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It's always so frustrating hitting paywalls for publicly funded research. I appreciate your efforts! If memory serves, I later found that there are native nettles, or nettle-like, plants. I'll keep searching and update if I find anything worthwhile. Impakta off (talk) 17:47, 17 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
