The Creek Nation ********************************** Before the early 18th Century, most of Georgia was home to Native Americans known as the Creek Confederacy. Today's Creek Nation, also known as the Muskogee, were the major tribe in that alliance. The Confederacy migrated to the southeastern United States from the Southwest. The name "Creek" came from the shortening of "Ocheese Creek" Indians -- a name given by the English to the native people living along the Ocheese Creek. Eventually, the name was applied to all groups of the confederacy. Most of the groups of the confederacy shared the same language "Muskogean", types of ceremonies, and village lay-out. The Creek people lived in large permanent towns with smaller outlying villages that were associated with the larger town and were centered around plazas used for dancing, religious ceremonies and games. It was here that the Sacred Fire was rekindled annually at the Green Corn Festival . Plazas in the towns also contained a rotunda -- a round building made of poles and mud used for council meetings and an open-air summer council house. The people in the villages attended ceremonies in the towns with which they were associated. Surrounding the plaza area were the family homes. Towns were governed by a Chief , an assistant chief, and a speaker who announced the Chief's decisions to the people. The people of the Etowah Mounds are believed to be the ancestors of the Creeks who lived in the area until the early 1700's. The inhabitants of the Etowah village were part of a much larger group known as the Mississippian culture. |

Native American Poem ********************************** The Calling By Gerald Fisher The fire is dancing tonight and the winds are talking Dancers from past lives enter the circle Leading me back and forth through the history of myself The mind searches as the spirit dances
The drums...dancing to the heartbeat
He shows me the ancestors, not mine
Yesterdays create todays and promises of tomorrow

An Indian Prayer ********************************** ©1996 Noel Knockwood, B.A. Elder O Great Spirit of the North who gives wings to the waters of the air and rolls the thick snowstorm before Thee Who covers the Earth with a sparkling crystal carpet above whose deep tranquillity every sound is beautiful Temper us with strength to withstand the biting blizzards yet make us thankful for the beauty which follows and lies deep over the warm Earth in its wake. |

Native American Humor ********************************** An old Indian lined up all of his 10 little Indian sons and stood in front of them. He then asked, "Who pushed the porta-potty over the cliff?" Nobody answered him. He then asked again, "Who pushed the porta-potty over cliff?" Again nobody answered him. The old Indian said, "I will tell you the story of George and George's father. George chopped down a cherry tree. George told his father the truth and his father did not punish him. So the Indian asked again, "Who pushed the porta-potty over the cliff?" To which the littlest Indian replied, "I pushed the porta-potty over the cliff." The old Indian then shakes and spanks him, for his punishment. When he is done, the little Indian asks, "George tolt the truth and his father did not punish him but I tell the truth and I get punished. Why did you punish me, father?" The old Indian replied, "Big George was not not in cherry tree when it got chopped down!" |
