Names of Yámassi Indians mentioned at that period also testify to their Creek provenience. The name of a man called Sanute is explained by Cr. sanódshäs _I encamp near_, or _with somebody_; that of Ishiagaska (Tchiagaska?) by íka akáska _his scraped_ or _shaved head_; or issi akáska _his hair (on body) removed_. At a public council held at Savannah, in May 1733, a Lower Creek chief from Kawíta expressed the hope that the Yámassi may be in time _reunited to his people_; a fact which fully proves the ethnic affinity of the two national bodies.[45]
