Ah-ni-ga-to-ge-wi or Wild Potato Clan - Were known to be Farmers "Dinilogisgi" and gatherers of the wild potato plants in swamps (hence the name gatogewi = "swamp"), along streams, and swamps to make flour or bread for food, and were so named after them. They are keepers and protectors of the earth. The Wild Potato Clan have also been known as the Bear Clan, Raccoon Clan and even "Blind Savannah" in different regions. The Clan color for the AniGatogewi is Green and their wood is Birch.

"Phoenix Cheasequah El Bey Nation" We are Natural Born Aborigine Blood of the "Ah-ni-ga-to-ge-wi" White Potato Clan, Descendants of the Tsaligihi Ayili (Cherokee Nation) Ancestors of North America, Turtle Island Ea Al Maurikanous Estados, NW Amexum, Land of the Frogs, Al Moroc, TAmerikkaa and The Washitaw De Dugdahmoundyah Empire.

Chief Minister Amir Caliph El Red Wolf Bey.

As Ancestral Oral Tradition says at a time when some were clanless, ancient mothers went out into the land first to pray unto Great Spirit (Creator) for help and guidance; they were told to find a plant that speaks to them the directions of what they must do to feed their children. When they were about to give up, they heard the voice of the plant low in the earth and black waters, it instructed them to cut the eyes out of the plants and bury then in small mounds. Now they were able to feed their children forever and give them a Clan name. Seminole & Incan Tribes share the very similar oral stories concerning the "White Potato Clan".
