The Muscogees, with other Southern tribes, and occasionally the Algonquins, had palisaded towns; but the palisades were usually but a single row, planted upright. The tribes of Virginia occasionally surrounded their dwellings with a triple palisade. Among these tribes there was no individual ownership of land, but each family had for the time exclusive right to as much as it saw fit to cultivate.
The great confederacy of the Muscogees or Creeks, consisting of numerous tribes, speaking at least five distinct languages, lay in a well-watered land of small timber. The rapid streams were bordered by narrow flats of rich soil, and were margined by canebrakes and reed beds.
Beyond thus furnishing auxiliaries to our other Indian foes, they had little to do with our history. The Muscogees or Creeks were the strongest of all. Their southern bands, living in Florida, were generally considered as a separate confederacy, under the name of Seminoles.
McKinley ascribes the use of these urns and covers to the Muscogees, a branch of the Creek Nation."
