Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Chemirgoy[lower-alpha 1] or Temirgoy[lower-alpha 2] are one of the twelve major Circassian tribes, representing one of the twelve stars on the green-and-gold Circassian flag.[1] They lived between the lower flows of the Belaya and Laba Rivers and their lands extended north to the Kuban. After the end of the Caucasian War, most Temirgoys resettled in other Circassian villages (e.g. Bzhedugii, Kabarda, Urupskiy), as well as in Turkey and in other parts of the Middle East. In Turkey, the majority of the population of the village Hadzhimukohabl (now Dondukovskaya) are Temirgoy.
