The term "Five Civilized Tribes" refers to the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole nations, which were recognized for adopting various cultural and political practices of white Americans in the 19th century. This designation reflects a complex view of Native Americans by white society; while these tribes were seen as "civilized" due to their adoption of Western customs, it also underscores the paternalistic and often condescending attitude of white Americans who believed that assimilation was necessary for Native Americans to be deemed worthy of respect and rights. Ultimately, this term illustrates the broader context of colonial attitudes and the justification for the displacement and marginalization of Indigenous peoples during this period.
The five civilized tribes of the whites (The Cherokees, Creeks, Choctaws, Chickasaws, and Seminoles)occupied sizable tracts of land in Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Florida.

Well, honey, those five tribes were called "civilized" by the U.S. government because they adopted certain European customs like farming, education, and Christianity. Basically, they were playing the part to try and avoid getting kicked off their land. But let's be real, just because they were doing what the white folks wanted doesn't mean they were any less sophisticated or cultured than they already were.

Depends on who you are what it means. To Native Americans plains tribes a white buffalo was a sacred animal. As it was tribes like the Dakota Sioux used the buffalo for food, clothing, worship, and anything else they could glean from the buffalo.
Initially the many small Muskogean tribes that came to be collectively called "Creeks" by white Americans waged war on most of their neighbours: Alibamu, Coushatta, Hitchiti, Tuskegee and Natchez. These neighbouring tribes were gradually defeated and absorbed by the Creeks. Later they fought intermittent wars against the Catawbas, Choctaws and Cherokee, as well as being involved in fighting against white Americans.
These Native Americans were said to have lost their cultural identity. They were called apples by the members of their tribes.
