On the other hand, there is one bit of documentary evidence which tends to identify the Indians under discussion [Yuchi] with the Chiska. This is given on page 296, and it will not be necessary to quote it at length, but the gist of it is that about 1682 La Salle encountered some Indians called "Cisca" and learned that the Indians of "English Florida" had burned one of their villages, "aided by the English," after which they had abandoned their easternmost villages and moved into the neighborhood of La Salle's fort. Now, English Florida must certainly refer to Carolina, not Virginia, and the Carolina settlers engaged in no war of consequence up to that time—certainly none resulting in the expulsion of a tribe—except that against the Westo, who had been driven out the year before.
