Kanagatucko, known in English as Standing Turkey or Old Hop,[1] was a Cherokee chief, serving briefly as the principle Chief of the Cherokee from 1760-1761, when he died. The European settlers knew him as Old Hop because he was lame.[2]
Kanagatucko is often confused with his kinsman Oconostota, who used the title "Stalking Turkey." He was the uncle of Attacullaculla, who was also known as Little Carpenter.
