Muskogee...
"The Creek Indians, a loosely formed
confederacy of 40 or more
small clans or tribes, originally lived in what are now the States
of Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Noted by de Soto as early as
1540, the Creeks were friendly to the English against the
Spanish, but they were led by the Shawnee prophet Tecumseh to
rise against the British in the Creek War of 1813. The entire
people was finally moved to Indian Territory (Oklahoma). Also
relocated in Indian Territory were many of the Seminoles,
Florida Indians who had absorbed considerable numbers of
Creek refugees from the north, and had become linguistically
assimilated to the related Creek language. The Creeks and
Seminoles came to be included within the Five Civilized Tribes.
There are now about 17,000 Creek Indians and 2,500 Seminoles
in Oklahoma. About 1,000 Seminoles still live in comparative
isolation in the Everglades of Florida.
The related dialects of these tribes and the Creek-influenced
Seminole tongue (the Seminoles originally spoke a language
known as Mikasuki) are usually known as Muskogee. The
Muskogee were the dominant tribe of the Creek Confederacy,
and the term has since come to denote the entire linguistic family
to which the Creek, Seminole, Choctaw,
Apalachee, Natchez,
Hitchiti (Mikasuki), and related Indian languages pertain." --1000
