Abstract:
A monument on Cartoogechaye Creek, Macon County, marks the resting place of a Cherokee couple who founded an Indian village among the white community in the early 19th-century. Chief Chuttasotee and his wife, Cunstagih, befriended their white neighbors, who called them Jim and Sally Woodpecker, and started the Indian settlement of Sand Town. The monument to the couple is the only evidence that remains of the Sand Town Indians.
