Continuing our honoring of the Native people of Georgia for Native American Heritage Month - Here is a photo of Tomo-chi-chi and Muscogee Native Americans who went to England to meet with the trustee of the colony of Georgia in July, 1734 from the National Parks Service website.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The Muscogee were called the Creek by European settlers because of their many villages proximity to the creeks and rivers. Actually, many of our rivers gained their namesake from the Muscogee language. Coosa was the name of one of the four mother towns of the Muscogee confederacy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According to muscogeenation.com early ancestors of the Muscogee constructed magnificent earthen pyramids along the rivers of this region as part of their elaborate ceremonial complexes. Their communities spanned large areas of the South Eastern United States before the Spanish conquest of the 1500's.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

In honor of Native American Heritage Month we thou

In honor of Native American Heritage Month we thought it would be interesting to share some about the cultures of the Native Americans who lived along our rivers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Pictured here are Cherokee who lived in our area until their forced removal by the US government between 1838 and 1839. The Cherokee lived in rhythm with the agricultural seasons. The celebrated the first green grass and the first harvest of green corn. Excellent farmers, they grew two types of corn as well as beans and squash, peas, potatoes, and pumpkins. Many wild foods and medicines including fruits and nuts and honey were also included in their harvests.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And what about their relationship with the rivers?🛶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
According the Cherokee's late Beloved Man Jerry Wolfe the fresh waters were considered a precious resource to the Cherokee. The river was described as a long man with his head in the mountains and his feet in the sea. The long man was revered as the source of drinking water, food, medicine, and travel. Jerry Wolfe said of the river, “The river was highly respected because it saves all life...if we didn’t have water, everything would die — plants, animals, people, all things would be gone.” Out of respect for the long man it was forbidden for any Cherokee to spit, pee, or throw trash in the river.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Millions of birds that migrate over Georgia each y

Millions of birds that migrate over Georgia each year as well as native birds depend on the heath of our ecosystem to thrive. In the recent Clean 13 Report from the Georgia Water Coalition the Georgia Audubon society was recognized for their initiative to create more welcoming habitats for insects (and thus these winged ones) by removing invasive species of plants at Sams Lake in Fayette County, Ga. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🌱⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
"Invasive plant species—both terrestrial and aquatic—impact habitat for the insects that form the base of the food chain on which birds and other wildlife depend. When completed, the restoration project will improve prospects for year-round feathered residents of Sams Lake as well as the millions of birds that migrate over Georgia each spring and fall."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Single use plastics are a major threat to aquatic

Single use plastics are a major threat to aquatic life -and most of the plastic pollution in rivers, lakes, and oceans originates from litter that is washed from the land. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🥤⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is why initiatives like the ones in city of South Fulton on the Chattahoochee River and On March 1, the City of South Fulton that became the first Georgia municipality to ban single-use plastics at city facilities and require private businesses to stop distributing plastic bags and certain plastic containers. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Did you know that the Cherokee of Northwest Georgia made their canoes out of birch wood because the wood is light and the bark is waterproof? If there weren't birch trees available they would cover the canoe in birch bark to make it water proof. The shape and materials of boats have changed so much since the days of the birch canoe- but it was the native people of this land who inspired the original designs. 🛶⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a clean up! We’re so thankful for the Berry College incoming freshman who came out to lend a hand. It takes a village to keep our rivers clean 🙌

How gorgeous are the trees in Northwest Georgia right now?! 🍁When we talk about the ecology of rivers the trees may not be the first thing that comes to mind- but trees play an important part in the health of our rivers. Their roots stabilize the banks of the rivers, they create barriers for runoff and create environments for mammals, birds, and reptiles. They even provide shade to paddlers and fishermen. So really when you get to the root of it- the trees are an important part of the river ecosystem.

Common Box Turtle (Terrapene Carolina) Fun Facts!⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eastern box turtles reach maturity at 10 to 20 years old and can live to be more than 100 years old.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
After successful mating, a female may lay fertile eggs for up to four years.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Turtle's experience temperature-dependent sex determination. The temperature of the nest when the eggs are incubating determines the sex of the hatchlings. Warmer nests tend to produce females, while cooler nests produce males. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Box turtles hibernate during cold winter weather. They burrow deep under the soil and leaves, sometime in October, and usually emerge in April or early May.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐢⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Male box turtles usually have bright red or orange colored eyes while the eyes of the females are usually dark red or brown. Male box turtles also have a slight depression in the middle of their lower shells while that of the female’s is flat. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

"I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting with their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free." - Wendell Berry⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
