A Yamacraw, he oversaw negotiations between the Creek and the Georgia Colonists.
The native chief who gave land for Georgia's first settlement was Tomochichi, leader of the Yamacraw tribe. He had a close relationship with James Oglethorpe, the founder of the colony of Georgia, and assisted in establishing the town of Savannah in 1733.
Tomochichi was the chief of the Yamacraw tribe situated on Yamacraw Bluff when James Oglethorpe landed there. His tribe, the Yamacraw, were a political construct composed of Creek and Yamasee individuals who were disenchanted with their perspective tribes. The trading practices with the British further north had resulted in the Yamasee War which resolved itself in two years. However, the trading practices remained the same, and Tomochichi gathered a tribe together with the discontents and founded the Yamacraw.The Yamacraw were about 200 in strength, living in a town structure. Because they were largely Creek, they disbanded and were reabsorbed into the Creek nation after Tomochichi's son Toonahowi died.
Oglethorpe encountered numerous native tribes during the colonization of Georgia. The most prominent of them was Tomochichi and his tribe of Yamacraw, but there were other, larger tribes in the area, such as the Lower Creeks.
