THE SOUTHEAST

Have you read Piers Anthony's "Tatham Mound"? It is a FANTASTIC source of information about Southeastern Tribes at the time of the arrival of the white man.

I also suggest that a tour of Mountville, AL. It's a great an informative restored pre-Columbian Muskogee Indian site.

I am a Creek Indian and a member of the Poarch Band of Creeks. The current address is 5811 Jack Springs Road, Atmore, AL 36502
