Creek Indians
A confederacy of the Muskhogean family. Known to the
English as occupying what are now the states of Alabama and Florida.
First visited by the Spaniards, under De Soto, in 1540. As a result of
the Creek War, in 1813-1814, they were removed by the American
government to Indian Territory, between 1835 and 1840. =Index=: (Sir Frederick Haldimand era) War
