Menawa, first called Hothlepoya (c. 1765-c. 1836-40), a Muscogee (Creek) Chief and military leader. He was of mixed race, with a Creek mother and a fur trader father of mostly Scots ancestry. As the Creek had a matrilineal system of descent and leadership, his status came from his mother's clan. Illustration from the book 'History of the Indian Tribes of North America with biographical sketches and anecdotes of the principal Chiefs', Volume 2 of 3, by Thomas Loraine, McKenney, and James Hall. Published in 1842. Painted by Charles Bird King.
