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.
