Longfellow was a Cherokee Man

Nan-hi (Nancy Ward) was probably born in Chota, Cherokee Nation, about 1738. Her parents are unknown, but she was a member of the Wolf Clan. A novelization of her life listed her mother as 'Tame Doe' but her name is actually unknown. She had one known brother, a man named Longfellow.

He was known and referred to as her brother during her life and they are buried next to one another.
