Answer:

Tomochichi, chief of the Yamacraw Indians, remains a prominent character of early Georgia Tomochichi history. As the principal mediator between the native population and the new English settlers during the first years of settlement, he contributed much to the establishment of peaceful relations between the two groups and to the ultimate success of Georgia

Step-by-step explanation:

Little is known about the youth of this warrior and chieftain because of the absence of accurate documentation. Presumably, he was Creek and participated in their early activities with Englishmen in South Carolina, both peaceful and hostile.
