In time of war, Ravens scouted ahead of war parties to search for the enemy. According to historian Colin Calloway, &quot;Every Cherokee town had &#039;Ravens,&#039; but the Raven of Chota was the most prominent.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Savanukah]] (or &quot;Savanooka&quot;), nephew of [[Oconostota]], was the Raven of Chota at the time of the [[American Revolution]]. In 1775 he was a signer of the [[Treaty of Sycamore Shoals]] with [[Attakullaculla]] and Oconostota.<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> *Calloway, Colin G. &#039;&#039;The American Revolution in Indian Country: Crisis and Diversity in Native American Communities&#039;&#039;.
