Resources and Suggested Reading Please bear in mind that some of the earliest accounts were written by non-Indians who, though well-intentioned, did not have a deep understanding of the complexities of the Indian community and way of life. Some interpretations are ethnocentristic or incomplete. Though they are important to our body of knowledge, it will be wise to temper these accounts by studying the oral wisdom stories and legends passed from generation to generation by the Creek elders.

Creek Languages Among the Peoples of the Creek Confederacy, were groups speaking several dialects of Muscogean and other languages. We offer these links for an overview and a closer look at each of the separate Southeastern Peoples who made up the Creek Nation and a fair evaluation of the situations they faced from the time of first contact. http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/georgia/
