Muscogee

Also known as Creek people, Muscogee Creek, Creek, Creek Confederacy

The Muscogee, or Creek, are a Native American people of the south-eastern United States, whose towns in present-day Alabama and Georgia formed a powerful confederacy in the 18th century. They traded and fought with English, Spanish and French colonists. After the Creek War of 1813–1814 they lost much land, and most were removed to Indian Territory in the 1830s, where the Muscogee Nation is based.
