Descendants of the Peruvian and Itza Maya Peoples, who gave the Appalachian Mountains their name, still live in the rugged mountains north of the Nacoochee Valley in Georgia. Locals call them the Towns County Indians, Hightower Creek Indians or the Coosa Creek Indians. Extended family clans of this unique people can be also found in the remote areas of Stevens, Habersham, White, Rabun, Union, Gilmer and Fannin Counties in Northeast Georgia.
