Attakullakulla (Cherokee, ''Ata-gul' kalu''; often called Little Carpenter by the English) (c. 1708–1778) was an influential Cherokee leader and the tribe's First Beloved Man, serving from 1761 to around 1775. His son was Dragging Canoe, a leader of the Chickamauga Cherokee. ==Names== According to the anthropologist James Mooney, Attakullakulla's Cherokee name could be translated "leaning wood", from ''ada'' meaning "wood", and ''gulkalu'', a verb that implies something long, leaning against some other object. His name "Little Carpenter" derived from the English meaning of his Cherokee name along with a reference to his physical stature. As naturalist William Bartram described him, he was "a man of remarkable small stature, slender, and delicate frame."〔Bartram, ''Travels,'' p. 485.〕 "His ears were cut and banded with silver, hanging nearly down to his shoulders." He was mild-mannered, brilliant, and witty.〔Walker, ''Narrative of a Kentucky Adventure'', pp. 150-51.〕
