Editor’s Note: This article is part of the multi-part series “Exiled to Indian Country” about the exile of Native Americans.
When the Euchee (often spelled Yuchi) tribe made first contact with the European colonizers, the members were located in settlements in eastern Tennessee, according to the Oklahoma Historical Society.
During the remainder of the 1600s, they traveled to the southeastern United States and established settlements neighboring the Creek Nation in Georgia and Alabama.
The United States did not differentiate the Euchee and the Creek, even though they spoke different languages. The two tribes were removed from the Southeast in 1830 and were given a land allotment in Oklahoma.
