Creek Culture

The Creek Indians lived in the south of Georgia and also in parts of Alabama. Creek houses were made of plaster and rivercane walls with thatched roofs. They were covered with grass and were plastered together with clay.

The Seminole tribe was originally a alliance between certain Creek Miccosukee, Hitchiti, Oconee, and other Indian people of Northern Florida and Southern Georgia only some creek people, not all of them, joined the Seminoles. I think a fun fact about the Creek Indians is their arts and crafts. The Creeks were known for their American Indian baskets, wood carvings and glazed pottery. When they had to move to Oklahoma, the Creeks couldn't get the materials they used to use for some of their traditional crafts, so they concentrated more on other crafts such as beadwork.

Alexander McGillivray, Creek War, (1813–14), war, Alexander McGillivray, also known as Hoboi-Hili-Miko, was a Muscogee leader. His parents were a Muscogee mother and a Scottish father. He had skills but no other Creek of his day had he was not only literate but educated, and he knew the white world and merchandise trading well. The Creek war, (1813-14) that resulted U.S victory over Creek Indians, were British allies during the War of 1812, resulting in vast cession of their lands in Alabama and Georgia. The Creeks’ first contact with Europeans occurred in 1538 when Hernando De Soto invaded their territory. Subsequently, the Creeks allied themselves with the English colonists in a succession of wars (beginning about 1703) against the Apalachee and the Spanish. During the 18th century a Creek Confederacy was organized in an attempt to present a united front against both Native and white enemies. It comprised not only the dominant Creeks but also speakers of other Muskogean languages (Hitchiti, Alabama-Koasati) and of non-Muskogean languages (Yuchi, some Natchez and Shawnee). The seminole of Florida and Oklahoma are a branch of the Creek Confederacy of the 18th and early 19th centuries. Most Creeks were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800's, like other southern Indian tribes. There are 20,000 Muscogee Creeks in Oklahoma today. Other Creek people are living in southern Florida as part of the Seminole tribe, in the Poarch Creek band in Alabama, or scattered throughout the original Muskogee homelands.The Battle of Holy Ground, or Battle of Econochaca, was a battle fought on December 23, 1813 between the United States militia and the Red Stick Creek Indians during the Creek War. The battle took place at Econochaca, the site of a fortified encampment established in the summer of 1813 by Josiah Francis on a bluff.

The war ended in the Treaty of Fort Jackson when Andrew Jackson forced the Creek indians to give up more than 21,000,000 acres of land that would now be in Georgia and central Alabama. The land after the war was now in custody of the American Government. The Creek people had to be moved to Oklahoma in the trail of tears. The creeks live in mostly Mobile, Alabama and a little on other parts of Florida and Georgia. 80,591 people are known as a creek indian in the 1800s.
