Moytoy is not colonial and should not be classed as such. He did not recognize or accept British authority over him. He should not be classed as colonial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:54, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will, at some point soon, get back to improving articles on Cherokee topics. I will make it to this article and will probably remove or add things as I can source them. I'm not sure I believe half of what is written here. Although there was a French presence in the area I am not sure why the Cherokee of that day would use French words in describing themselves or giving themselves names and the break down of the Cherokee name early in the article is wrong. Very rarely do you see consonants without a vowel behind them unless its an "s" or "h". Sometimes you will have a consonant with no following vowel but in every case, for the written Cherokee, you would add a vowel, most often and "a" or "i". I want to slowly start sourcing as much of this as I can. --Tsistunagiska (talk) 13:24, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I think I've properly sourced this article now, but I condensed all of the etymology information to Moytoy of Tellico's page and linked it, to make it easier to edit later on. I agree with everything you've said here. It would be useful to find the affidavits that James P. Brown mentions in his book, but since they were written by European-Americans it seem unlikely they would have any translation information in them. --Devilpliers2 (talk) 13:34, 23 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
