Doublehead (1744–1807) or Incalatanga (Tal-tsu'tsa, ᏔᎵᏧᏍᎦ in Cherokee), was one of the most feared warriors of the Cherokee during the Cherokee–American wars. Following the peace treaty at the Tellico Blockhouse in 1794, he served as one of the leaders of the Chickamauga Cherokee (or "Lower Cherokee"), and he was chosen as the leader of Chickamauga (taking on the title Chuqualataque) in 1802.[1](Submitted on March 31, 2023, by Sandra Hughes Tidwell of Killen, Alabama, USA.)
