A STUDY of THE PEOPLES of the CREEK
TRIBES of SOUTHEASTERN AMERICA
& of THOSE WHO LIVED AMONGST THEM
The Muscogees- we call them Creeks to identify them from other Native groups of the area -- the Southeastern United States -- the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw-- were really a group of tribes. Kashitas, Koasati, Yammassee, Tuckabatchee, Coosa, Coweta, Alibamo are some tribes associated with Creeks. They mainly lived along waterways of (now) Alabama and Georgia, in villages connected by paths-- trading paths. And threaded among the trading paths were hunting paths. Crisscrossing the trading and hunting paths were war paths. A telling pattern.
Much information is available on the Creeks as a people and as tribes. I seek to look at the individuals they were. And at the families. And at how they strived to survive the influx of Whites. And at how they fought for their homes. Yet assimilated successfully with the Whites when there seemed no other way to live. Most were finally driven from their territory but some stayed. And of the ones that are gone, their stories remain, and this is what I desire to share.
