 In further reference to the Chalaques, after the Westo punched straight through them, they seem to have split along the line of the Tennessee River to create the Cherokee to the south & the Yuchi to the north.Then, following the Yamasee War (1715–1717), the Yuchi were force across Appalachia & split again, into the Coyaha & the Chisca.The French, seeing an opportunity for new allies, ingratiated themselves with the Chisca and had them relocated to the heart of the Illinois Colony to live among the Algonquian Ilinoweg.
