What North American Indians were indigenous to the state of Georgia?

How you count who was one group or who were separate groups is difficult at this date. There were at least 15 tribes. However, the Creek were a Confederation of 11 or more tribe stretching all across the south. Where the State of Georgia is today the largest part was occupied by the Creek Confederacy and the Cherokee, who had their capital and newspaper there. They were forcibly removed to Oklahoma in 1838. This was largely due to actions of Georgian politicians acting with federal sympathizers like President Jackson. They wanted the land, especially after the Georgia gold rush of 1829. It was opposed by others including the Supreme Court. The resulting removal is known as the Trail of Tears. What was in Georgia and what wasn't depends on the time period. These two groups stretched over what is now many states and the borders changed over time. Also, land claimed by "Georgia" went all the way to the Mississippi river until given up in 1802 after the Yazoo land scandal. Early Georgian history is in large part about politicians and powerful men claiming state's right order to steal things like land from the native people or money from investors for land they did not own. The Creek, actually known as the Muscogee were not one people but were a confederacy of tribes consisting of Yuchi, Koasati, Alabama, Coosa, Tuskeegee, Coweta, Cusseta, Chehaw (Chiaha), Hitchiti, Tuckabatchee, Oakfuskee, and many others. Other people were the Timucua, Guale, Yamasee, Miccosukee, and Apalachee, Apalachicola, ,Arapaha, Cascangue, Icafui (or Icafi), Mocama (or Tacatacuru), Oconi, Yufera , and Yui. Later the Shawnee and Yuchi were forced into what is now Georgia. There are no Federally recognized tribes in Georgia today although there are American Indians who live there. As of 2007, there are two State recognized Cherokee groups and one Creek group. There are 18 unrecognized groups some who are still trying to gain recognition. If you include the boundaries of the Georgia Colony which includes much of what is Alabama and Mississippi then there were many more native peoples.

What are the lyrics to Maria Moita?

Nasceu lá na Bahia de mocama confeitor Seu pai dormia em cama, sua mãe no pesador Seu pai só dizia assim "Venha Cá" Sua mãe só dizia assim "Sem falar, Mulher que fala muito perde logo o seu amor" Deus fez primeiro o homem, a mulher nasceu depois E é por isso que a mulher trabalha sempre pelos dois O homem acaba de chegar, tá com fome A mulher tem que olhar pelo homem E é deitada, em pé, mulher tem é, é que trabalhar. O rico acorda tarde e já começa a resmungar O pobre acorda cedo e já começa a trabalhar Vou pedir ao meu babalorixá pra fazer uma oração pra Xangô Pra pôr pra trabalhar gente que nunca trabalhou O rico acorda cedo e já começa a resmungar O pobre acorda cedo e já começa a trabalhar Vou pedir ao meu babalorixá pra fazer uma oração pra Xangô Pra pôr pra trabalhar gente que nunca trabalhou Pra pôr pra trabalhar gente que nunca trabalhou Pra pôr pra trabalhar gente que nunca trabalhou


Can you give me a long list of Native American Indian languages?

This is a partial list. The numbers after some names mean the number of known languages in that family. If we were doing that for European languages one example would be Romance (23),( although the exact number depends on what you count as understandable or not). This includes, Italian, French, Romanian, Spanish and many others. In the Na-Dene there are as an example there are Northern, Southern and Pacific Coast sub families. In the Southern there are 7 languages. Some have a lot of word similar like Spanish and Italian other s are more distant. In North America there are thought to have been about 296 spoken (or formerly spoken) indigenous languages north of Mexico, 269 of which are grouped into 29 families (the remaining 27 languages are either isolates or unclassified) Here one list, there are about 45 others that we don't know enough about to know if they were their own language or what they were related to. That list follows this one.
