The Creeks are original residents of the Southeastern states such as Georgia, Alabama, Florida and North Carolina.The Creek Indians lived south of the Etowah river in Georgia. They also lived South to the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers and West to the Coosa (mostly in Alabama). Creek Indians made their homes along rivers and creeks, as the name supposes.

They lived in towns with populations that varied from 400 - 600. The towns had a large open area for meetings called 'Plazas', as well as large round buildings that held all the people within the town. Their houses were made of rivercane and plaster, with thatched roofs. Grass houses and Wigwam homes are the common houses known of.

The children play together, go to school and help around the houses. Many Cherokee children enjoy hunting and fishing with their fathers. In the past, Cherokee children had less time to play than they do now, and one of their more common games is shooting a dart through a moving hoop.

The men wore breechcloths and leather leggings, whereas women wore wraparound skirts and mantles made of deerskin or woven fiber.

Men did not usually wear shirts, though both genders wore cloaks in cool weather. They also wore moccasins on their feet.

They were traditionally farming people. The creek women did the majority of the farming, harvesting crops of corn, squash, pumpkins, beans and various other vegetables. They also gathered wild fruits and nuts. Creek men did the hunting, shooting deer, wild turkeys, and small game and fishing in the rivers and along the coast. Creek dishes included cornbread, soups and stews.

For hunting, they use bows and arrows primarily, but fishermen used spears, nets or hooks made of bone. In war, the men fired their bows or or fought with tomahawks and war clubs. They used hide shields to defend themselves.

Creek Indians were and are more intelligent than people assumed. When the Native Americans appeared, the Creeks thought of them as uneducated and savages. They were all very smart and healthy. They bathed and brushed their teeth daily. They also had a highly organized social system with strict rules of personal conduct and respect for one another.
