Because my tribe is PeeDee. We are a Creek people, but we never called ourselves that. We have always been aware that we were related to other Creek peoples, but we were actually a member of the Greater Catawba Nation, a confederacy of Siouan and Creek peoples from North and South Carolina. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 6 Aug 2008 2:38 pm Subject: Re: [CREEK-SOUTHEAST] What do you call a Creek Hello, Richard So, Okonee denotes your Clan (and general Location), and Eastern Creek is your Tribe, which is in the Muscogee Nation ?
