FDI - Tuskegee

The Tuskegee were a sedentary hunter/farmer tribe. They were located on a point of land at the conflux of the Coosa and Talapossa Rivers, just northeast of present Montgomery. They divided into two bands, with one eventually joining the Cherokee. The second band settled among the Creek, and removed to Oklahoma with the larger nation, but settled separately. A few individuals migrated to Florida and joined the Seminoles where they lived a hunter/gatherer existence.
