Chota (also spelled Chote, Echota, Itsati, and other similar variations) is a historic Overhill Cherokee town site in Monroe County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States. Developing after nearby Tanasi, Chota (Cherokee: ᎢᏣᏘ, romanized: Itsati) was the most important of the Overhill towns from the late 1740s until 1788. It replaced Tanasi as the de facto capital, or 'mother town' of the Cherokee people. A number of prominent Cherokee leaders were born or resided at Chota, among them Attakullakulla, Oconostota, Old Hop, Old Tassel, Hanging Maw, and Nancy Ward.

dbo:abstract
  • Chota (Chota and Tanasi Cherokee Village Sites, auch: Chote, Echota, Itsati u. a.) ist eine historische -Siedlung am Little Tennessee River in Monroe County (Tennessee), in den südöstlichen Vereinigten Staaten. Die Siedlung entwickelte sich nach dem nahegelegenen Tanasi ab den späten 1740ern bis 1788. Dann war Chota die wichtigste der „Overhill Towns“ und ersetzte Tanasi als de-facto-Hauptstadt der Cherokee. Es wird geschätzt, dass die Siedlung bis zu 500 Bewohner zählte. Zahlreiche prominente Häuptlinge der Cherokee wurden in Chota geboren oder hatten dort ihre Residenz, unter anderem Attakullakulla, Oconostota, (Old Hop), , und Nancy Ward. 1979 wurden beide Orte größtenteils von der bei der Aufstauung des (Tellico Lake) überflutet. Vorher durchgeführte archäologische Ausgrabungen zeigten, dass die Siedlung über ein Stadthaus verfügte. Das Chota-Denkmal befindet sich direkt über dem alten Stadthaus. Die archäologischen Stätten Chota und Tanasi wurden zusammen in das National Register of Historic Places aufgenommen; auch Tanasi erhielt 1972 eine Einstufung als Archaeological Site (40MR62). Die Lage des Chota Townhouse wurde während der Ausgrabungen gefunden. Das Gebiet wurde über den Wasserspiegel des Reservoirs angehoben und mit einem Damm mit dem Ufer verbunden. Das Chota Monument, welches heute unmittelbar über der Stelle des Townhouse steht, besteht aus acht Säulen, einer für jeden der sieben Cherokee-Clans und einer für die gesamte Nation. Das Grab des Häuptlings Oconostota, welches bereits 1969 bei Ausgrabungen aufgedeckt worden war, wurde ebenfalls an dem Monument neu beigesetzt. Diese Stätte wird heute von der verwaltet. (de)
  • Chota (also spelled Chote, Echota, Itsati, and other similar variations) is a historic Overhill Cherokee town site in Monroe County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States.

A number of prominent Cherokee leaders were born or resided at Chota, among them Attakullakulla, Oconostota, Old Hop, Old Tassel, Hanging Maw, and Nancy Ward. The former Chota and Tanasi sites are listed together on the National Register of Historic Places; Tanasi also has an archaeological site designation (40MR62) assigned in 1972. Since 1979, both sites have been mostly submerged by the Tellico Lake impoundment of the Little Tennessee River. Archeological excavations were conducted before the dam was completed. During the excavations, the site of the Chota townhouse was found. Major Cherokee towns were centered around a large townhouse or councilhouse, the site of community meetings of hundreds of people. These were usually built on top of an existing platform mound in the center of the town. These earthworks had typically been built by ancestral peoples of the South Appalachian Mississippian or earlier cultures. Prior to the flooding of Tellico Reservoir, the Chota townhouse site was raised above the reservoir's operating levels and connected via a causeway to the mainland. The Chota monument, situated directly above the ancient townhouse site, consists of eight pillars —one for each of the seven Cherokee clans, and one for the nation. The grave of Chief Oconostota, found in the 1969 excavations, was re-interred next to the monument. This site is now managed by the federally recognized Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, based in Cherokee, North Carolina. (en)
