Cobb County proclamation.
Local ceremonial recognition.
On October 27, 2026, the Cobb County Board of Commissioners issued a proclamation designating November as Native American Heritage Month.
During the ceremony the board specifically recognized and commended the AhíTvlâōfoh Yamassee-Guale Nation of Georgia for its stated commitment to preserving ancestral heritage and educating future generations.
The group, also known as the Yamassee-Guale Nation, describes itself as a living Indigenous community based in the Metro-Atlanta area that traces lineage to the historical Yamassee and Guale peoples of the Southeast. It is not among the three tribes officially recognized by the State of Georgia and is not federally recognized by the Bureau of Indian Affairs.
The action was a local ceremonial proclamation tied to Heritage Month observances, not a grant of formal tribal status.
These are the verified details from the county meeting record and public statements.
