KALANAH First child of Caulunna and Nancy. Born: before 1740. The English term for Kalanah was Raven. His name was later changed to Savanooka (Sawanugi or Shawnee), though he was still referred to as the Raven of Chota in English records. The name Shawnee was given to him due to him being captured by that tribe at one time. There appeared to have been confusion over who Savanooka actually was.
