Tennessee: Echoes of Tanasi and the Southwest Territory. Long before the arrival of European settlers, the land we now know as Tennessee was primarily inhabited by the Cherokee people. One significant Cherokee village, nestled along the banks of the Little Tennessee River, bore the name "Tanasi." This term, believed to mean "meeting place" or "river bend," would eventually evolve into "Tennessee" and become the state's official name upon its admission to the Union in 1796.

A man out on probation for drug charges less than a year ago and a woman from Douglas were recently arrested following a search at a local apartment. On August 7, 2024, at around 1:00 PM, Detectives from the Coffee County Sheriff's Office Drug Unit were conducting a proactive narcotics patrol in Douglas. During their patrol, a detective spotted 30-year-old Christopher Lamar Hawkins, who had outstanding warrants for fleeing police and methamphetamine possession, driving a white 2021 Kia Sorento. Hawkins was stopped in front of apartment 203/204 on N Wheeler Ave, where two detectives approached him. Breanna Henderson, 33, then came out of apartment 203 to "investigate what was going on with Hawkins" and appeared to whisper with Hawkins during his arrest. The report states that Henderson, who temporarily lived with Hawkins, began whispering with him "presumably about nefarious activities due to Hawkins's previous history with drug distribution and evading law enforcement."

The president of the Navajo Nation unsuccessfully attempted to stop two semi trucks from hauling uranium through tribal land this week. Back in 2012, the Navajo Nation passed the Radioactive and Related Substances Equipment, Vehicles, Persons and Materials Transportation Act. This act technically banned the transport of uranium through the tribe’s reservation, but is not legally enforceable on highways due to a technicality, reported KJZZ.
