FDI - Muskogee

The Muskogee were a large sedentary hunter/farmer group or confederation of tribes. They occupied territories from the Atlantic coast of Georgia to north central Alabama particularly along the Savannah River. They arrived in that area after 1,000. They ultimately formed the nucleus of the Creek Confederacy.
