Muskoke is their name in traditional spelling. Modern Muscogees live primarily in Oklahoma, Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. Their language, Muskoke, is a member of the Muscogee branch of the Muscogean language family. They were a part of the Mississippian culture which was located throughout the Mississippi River valley. The early Spanish explorers, according to historian Walter Williams, encountered their antecedents. In the 19th century, Muscogees were known as one of the "Five Civilized Tribes" because they had integrated numerous cultural and technological practices of their European American colonial neighbors. (This book) “ . . . originated in an attempt to prepare a report on the Indians of the Creek Confederacy similar to that made . . . for those along the lower course of the Mississippi River. In this study, however, it is still possible to add information obtained from living Indians, about 9,000 of whom were enumerated in 1910. But when material from all sources had been tentatively brought together the amount was found to be so great that it was thought advisable to divide the work into two or three different sections for separate publication. As our account of the distribution, interrelationship, and history of these people is to be gathered rather from documentary sources than from field investigations it is naturally the first to be ready for presentation. Since it has been compiled primarily for ethnological purposes, no attempt has been made to give a complete account of the later fortunes of the tribes under consideration, such important chapters in their career as the Creek and Seminole wars and the westward emigration belonging within the province of the historian strictly so considered. The writer's main endeavor has been to trace their movements from earliest times until they are caught up into the broad stream of later history in which concealment is practically impossible.” CONTENTS – Creek Indians and Their Neighbors Introduction 9 Classification of the Southeastern tribes 11 The Cusabo 31 History 31 Ethnological information regarding the l 'usabo 72 The Guale Indians and the Yamasee 80 The Apalachee 109 The Apalachicola 129 The Chatot 134 The Tawasa and Pawokti 137 The Sawokli 141 The Pent-acola 143 The Mobile and Tohome 150 The Osochi 165 The Chiaha 167 The Hitchiti 172 The Okmulgee 178 The Oconee 179 The TamaH 181 The Tamahita . 184 The Alabama 191 The Koasati 201 The Muklasa 207 The Tuskegee 207 Tennessee River tribes of uncertain relationship 211 The Muskogee 215 The Kasihta 216 The Coweta 225 The Coosa and their descendants 230 The Abihka 251 The Holiwahali 254 The Hilibi 258 The Eufaula 260 The Wakokai .. 263 The Atasi \ 265 The Kolomi 267 The Fus-hatchee 269 The Kan-hatki 269 The Wiwohka 270 The Kealedji 271 The Pakana 272 The Okchai 274 The Tukabahchee 277 Other Muskogee towns and villages 282 The Yuchi 286 The Natchez 312 The Shawnee 317 The ancient inhabitants of Florida 320 History 320 Ethnology 345 The Seminole 398 The Chickasaw 414 The Choctaw 420 Population of the Southeastern tribes 421 Bibliography 457 Index.. 463
