Did the Creek indians live in places where there was a thosand trees?

Answer 1

The easiest way to find your answer would be to search the route they traveled before and after the Indian Act. But you have to remember that back in the 1800's you did not have all the highrise buildings that you do now. When they were removed from their land there would have been thousands of trees, and on their travels there would have been also. You have to remember when they were removed and sent to the reservation, Oklahoma was not considered a state yet. It was still part of Arkansaw (Arkansas) and it was in the Ozark mountains in which there are still thousands of trees. If you want to know more about the Creek indians and the trail of tears, there are some helpful sites, but I suggest contacting the Three Tribes Center in Tahlequah, OK, or the Cherokee Nation there.

Answer 2

Creek Indians belong to any of 19 tribal groups that once occupied Alabama and Georgia. The largest Creek tribes occupied Alabama called Upper Creeks because they lived farther north than other groups. Alabama has thick pine forests and deep rivers, and Georgia lies along the eastern edge of the Appalachians which also have pine and hardwood forest covering the valleys. Thus, I would think by your comment they did in deed live amongst a thousand trees with all the forest trees in both states, Alabama and Georgia.
