- Yonaguska (* 1759/1760 in den Lower Towns der Cherokee im Grenzgebiet zwischen North Carolina und Georgia; † April 1839 in Soco, North Carolina) auch unter Drowning Bear (dt. Ertrinkender Bär, englische Bedeutung seines Stammesnamens) bekannt, war ein Häuptling der Cherokee in North Carolina. Während der Vertreibung der Indianer in den späten 1830ern war er der einzige Häuptling, der in den Appalachen blieb und den Stamm des Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians aus den verbliebenen Resten der großen Cherokee Nation aufbaute. Yonaguska war der Adoptivvater des weißen William Holland Thomas, der als Anwalt den Stamm bei Verhandlungen mit den Bundesbehörden vertrat. Außerdem kaufe Thomas Land und errichtete damit das Qualla Boundary, das Gebiet des staatlich anerkannten Stammes, das als Reservation für den Eastern Band dient. Während seines gesamten Lebens war Yonguska ein Reformer und Prophet, der die zerstörerische Gier der weißen Siedler nach Land erkannte und die Konsequenzen des Alkohols für sein Volk sah und diesen nach einer Vision 1918 vom Land der Cherokee verbannte.

- Yonaguska, (1759–1839), who was known as Drowning Bear (the English meaning of his name), was a leader among the Cherokee of the Lower Towns of North Carolina. During the Indian Removal of the late 1830s, he was the only chief who remained in the hills to rebuild the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, joined by others who had escaped or eluded the United States soldiers. Before that time, he had adopted William Holland Thomas as his son; the fatherless European-American youth was working at the trading post and had learned Cherokee. Yonaguska taught him Cherokee ways and, after Thomas became an attorney, he represented the tribe in negotiations with the federal government. Thomas was never a Chief of any Cherokee band but played important roles. Thomas bought land and established a Cherokee reserve for the tribe's use at what is now the Qualla Boundary, the territory of the federally recognized tribe in North Carolina. During his life, Yonaguska was a reformer and a prophet; he was a leader who recognized the destructive power of the white man's liquor and the settlers' insatiable greed for Cherokee lands. (en)
