Ghigau
Ghigau (Cherokee: ᎩᎦᎤ) or Agigaue (Cherokee:ᎠᎩᎦᎤᎡ) is a Cherokee prestigious title meaning "beloved woman" or "war woman".〔(''Cherokee Women'' ). First People: The Legends. Retrieved August 5, 2012.〕〔(''Red and White Organizations'' ). Texas Cherokees. Retrieved August 5, 2012.〕
The title was a recognition of great honor for women who made a significant impact within their community or exhibited great heroism on the battlefield. When a woman was bestowed as a Ghigau she was given great honor and responsibility. Due to changes in the Cherokee culture, it is no longer a function of responsibility assignment within the Cherokee culture.
==Background==
The Ghigua title was given to extraordinary women by the Cherokee clans, and the title of great honor and responsibility was held for life. The Cherokees believed that the Great Spirit frequently spoke through the Ghigau. The Ghigau headed the Council of Women and held a voting seat in the Council of Chiefs. She was given the responsibility of prisoners and would decide their fate.〔〔
There are other similar words. For instance, the word Adageyudi (Cherokee:ᎠᏓᎨᏳᏗ) means "beloved"〔(Cherokee-English Vocabulary Words ) Retrieved August 5, 2012.〕 or "beloved woman".〔Howard, Greg. (2004). ''Cherokee English/Cherokee Glossary''. Tahlequah, OK: VIP Publishing.〕 An even greater title would have been Chigau (Cherokee: ᏥᎦᎤ) meaning "greatly beloved woman".〔
