Re: Title of article

This article was moved without discussion or notice. I have returned it to its place. Do not move it again without discussion.

This article is part of the WikiProject Indigenous peoples of North America. This Elias Boudinot (as opposed to Elias Boudinot) is known to history for his relationship with his tribe, the Cherokee Nation East, than he is as a publisher, though he was certainly the latter for four years. Chuck Hamilton (talk) 23:27, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction

So was he in Tennessee or Connecticut in 1818? I think this needs to be clarified. W Nowicki (talk) 00:55, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

His Cherokee name

Is it relevant to try to explain the meaning of his name? Does a Cherokee perceive his name otherwise than as a name? Should the article about Roger Moore contain a paragraph that explains that Roger means 'famous spearman'? Creuzbourg (talk) 19:08, 15 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good faith edits

I removed a few inaccurate descriptions of Boudinot's Cherokee name as 1) being related to turkey ("Gvhna" in both Western "Upper Hill" and Eastern Band's "Underhill" dialects of Cherokee, or as 2) "Stand firm" as a literal translation. This may be a misplacement of ᏕᎦᏔᎦ (romanized Degataga), Boudinot's brother Stand Watie, whose name means "standing up." I also removed an unreferenced statement saying that "the majority of the tribe sided with the Confederacy," as the reality is much more complex (many Cherokee fought for the North). Thanks!
