The Creek were a confederacy of tribes that emerged in the early eighteenth century in the southeastern United States, primarily in central Georgia and from the Atlantic coastal regions to central Alabama. The Creeks spoke several related languages of the Muskogean language family. Traditional Creek villages contained as many as twenty-five different matriclans living in four to eight houses. Subsistence was based on maize, beans, and squash, supplemented by hunting and fishing. During the period of 1836-1840 a major portion of the Creek confederacy was removed from its homeland in the southeast and resettled in Indian Territory in Oklahoma.
