Anigiduwagi

Anigiduwagi means the people of Kituwah, the ancient mother town of the Cherokee. In Cherokee tradition Kituwah is a place of origins, associated with the first fire and the laws given to the people. Cherokee towns lay along rivers of the southern Appalachian country, while their hunting grounds extended northward into Kentucky. Their language belongs to the Iroquoian family, and another name they use for themselves is Aniyvwiya, the principal people.
