Cherokee

According to the Popul Vuh, the Mayan-language speaking S. Americans originated
in Peru, in the extreme-most southern tip of the continent, and then migrated
northward until finally, during the era of the Aztec empire when the Columbian
Spaniards arrived, the “people of the sun” had migrated as far north as into modern
Mexico, and had a common alphabet and calendar with the northern Cherokee Tribe.
