Tsi'yu-gunsini, or Dragging Canoe in English, is a Cherokee chief who leads raids against illegal settlements by American colonists on Native lands. Their British allies urge them to be patient, but Dragging Canoe doesn't hesitate. In response, thousands of colonial militiamen pour into Native territories and wage a war of total annihilation.
