Yûñwï Tsunsdi', 'the Little Folk,' are the Cherokee little people, knee-high beings with perfect miniature Cherokee features and long hair reaching to their waists. They live in rock shelters and caves, help lost children, teach medicine and song, and punish those who disrespect nature; they can grant good luck or cause misfortune depending on how they are treated.
