Muscogee, Florida 

Located in the Florida Panhandle, Muscogee, Florida is the home of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, a Native American tribe. Muscogee, Florida is about 20 miles northwest of Pensacola, Florida. The Muscogee people, or Creeks, are one of the oldest inhabitants of the American southeast. Originally speaking the Muskogee language in Georgia, the tribe relocated to Florida in the 1700s. Browse around this site

The Muscogee (Creek) people live in huts in the woods. They are matrilineal and have a unique political system. In addition to their national system, the tribe is also divided into voting districts and has a legislative branch and an executive branch. In the early 1600s, the Muscogee occupied almost all of the southeast United States. However, the tribe was forced to move to designated lands in the 1700s. In the early 1800s, the Muscogee (Creek) fought with the Red Sticks. The war ended with the treaty of Fort Jackson. The treaty ceded 23 million acres of Muscogee land to the United States. In 1805, a second treaty ceded land between the Oconee and Ocmulgee rivers. The Muscogee occupied Alabama, Georgia, and the Florida Panhandle. In the 19th century, the Muscogee were a part of the Five Civilized Tribes. In 1867, the Muscogee wrote a constitution that provided for two legislative chambers, a Principal Chief, a Second Chief, a judicial branch, and a House of Warriors, similar to the Senate. The Muscogee Nation is the third largest federally recognized tribe in the United States. In 1885, the Creek Nation reserve acreage totaled 3,215,395 acres. However, in 1904, the Muscogee had only 9,905 residents. The Muscogee people are descendants of the Eastern Creek Indians. The Muscogee (Creek) Indians speak the Muskogee language, a living language.

Muscogee, Florida, is a town that was once the home of a thriving community. The town is now a ghost town. In the late 1800s, Muscogee town was destroyed by clear-cutting. The Muscogee people, or "Creeks," were forced to sign treaties. The Muscogee occupied Georgia and Alabama during the American Colonial period. Some Muscogee Indians also joined the Seminole in Florida. Other Muscogee Indians were excommunicated from the state and moved south in the early 1800s. Click for more info

The Muscogee (Creek) tribal unit centered around idalwa, or the Mother Town, which is located at the confluence of the Ocmulgee and Choctawhatchee rivers. The town council was made up of the chief, the head men of each town, and subordinate micros. The Muscogee Town Council was responsible for passing laws that would protect the landowners and the people of the Muscogee Towns. The Muscogee Town Council also had the responsibility of choosing a representative for the Legislative Assembly, similar to the Senate. The council made decisions on matters of war and peace.

The Muscogee Nation has petitioned for official government acknowledgment for nearly 70 years. An official government acknowledgment would give the tribe the right to govern themselves. It would also give the tribe protection for their tribal lands. In addition, it would allow the tribe access to medical programs.
