Creek Culture

The creek tribe practices a custom called "The stomp dance". Some of the foods that they ate included corn, beans, squash, melon, and sweet potatoes. They lived in houses such as grass huts, longhouses, etc.

Before the population was disrupted by the European/Americans there were about 8,500 Creek Natives. A little before the Indian Removal policy their population was somewhere around 21,000. The Creek population today has grown to around 51,000 people.

The navajo tried to resist being removed by having many battles including the battle of Canyon de Chelly and fourth battle of Tuscon. Navajo signed a few treaties with the U.S one is called 'Cessation of war and wrongdoing'. It states that "From this day forward all war between the parties to this agreement shall for ever cease.

Before the Seminole indians were disrupted by the Americans/ Europeans there were about 5,000 Seminoles living in Florida until the U.S. declared an end to conflicts in the third war with the Seminoles which moved about 3,000 Seminoles west of the Mississippi river to Oklahoma leaving only about 200- 300 Seminoles in Florida.
