    Doublehead (c.

    1744–1807) or Incalatanga (Tal-tsu'tsa, ᏔᎵᏧᏍᎦ [Talitsus'ga] in Cherokee), was one of the most feared warriors of the Cherokee during the Cherokee–American wars. Following the peace treaty at the Tellico Blockhouse in 1794, he served as one of the leaders of the Chickamauga Cherokee (or "Lower Cherokee"), and he was chosen as the leader of Chickamauga (taking on the title Chuqualataque) in 1802.[1]

    Personal life

    It is thought that Doublehead's father was Great Eagle (or Willenewa), a nephew of Chief Old Hop and a cousin of Chief Attakullakulla (or Little Carpenter)[citation needed].

    He was a brother of Old Tassel, "First Beloved Man" of the Overhill Cherokee. Two of his relatives, Tahlonteeskee and John Jolly, were also leaders among the Chickamauga and both later became Principal Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation.
