| Prior to the early 18th Century, most of Georgia
was home to Native Americans belonging to a southeastern alliance known
as the Creek Confederacy. Today's Creek Nation, also known as the Muskogee,
were the major tribe in that alliance. According to Creek traditions, the
Confederacy migrated to the southeastern United States from the Southwest.
The confederacy was probably formed as a defense against other large groups
to the north. The name "Creek" came from the shortening of "Ocheese Creek"
Indians -- a name given by the English to the native people living along
the Ocheese Creek (or Ocmulgee River). In time, the name was applied to
all groups of the confederacy. |
