It has been years but the Shawnee speaker said that the name Suwanee (thanx for the proper spelling)
came from the tribe's name Shawnee and they were in contact with the river as they migrated up from the
south after his people had landed in South America after crossing the Pacific on boats. I have no way of
knowing what if any parts of his people's story is true.

Ft. Ancient in OH shows how much we have come to understand some of the history of the native peoples.
It was not a fort but a trading post where foot paths came together on the banks of the Miami River in S.W.
OH. Goods from the Gulf of Mexico and the south, the east coast (what is now N.C.), and Canada have been
found there.

Reich in his book said it is very hard to get genetic material from many current day native Americans or to
get permission to look for genomic material in the skeletons of older native peoples because of how "they"
have been treated in the past.

all the best!
