Need help forming a persona

[Hawken50]

hey dryball.i know this is an older post .but i just got here.dont be upset about being called gradfather.with the indians that  was a term reserved for someone they had the upmost respect for...I myself have cherokee ancestors on both sides.but my wife thinks its apache,,beard is only a patch here and a patch there!!!who ever heard of a mountian man with no beard..guess my persona will have to be as a longhunter...guess ill have to trade in my hawken for a flint longrifle.....wait an excuse for another frontstuffer,,,gotta think...

Long Hunters had fun to!
And looking down a 3ft+ Rifle barrel is a cool perspective!  
I have a ancestor that was a Long-hunter and had 2 Cherokee wives that were sisters.
He kept his white wife too! (Things happen when you are in the woods for a year at a time devel)
And of course that put some Cherokee in our family tree to!

I wonder how the Cherokee ancestors would say "Sleeps with Cougars"

[Dryball]

Somewhat like this "tsi-li-hu guh doe dee tlv-da-tsi"...means sleeping with lion...closest you can get in Cherokee.
