ERIC ED028866: Indians of the Gulf Coast States.

A history of Indian tribes living in the Gulf Coast area of the United States entails a chronicle of adjustment, compromise, and final submission to the white man. Due primarily to conquest and subsequent resettlement of large segments of the Indian population to the western part of the United States, descendants of Indians remaining in the southeastern United States are now comprised of: an isolated group of approximately 3,800 Choctaws in Mississippi; about 2,970 Chitimachas; Coushattas; Houmas, Choctaws, and Tunicas in Louisiana; a Creek community of 545 members in Alabama; more than 1,000 Seminoles who still reside, with the related Miccosukees, in south Florida; and 360 members of the Alabama and Coushatta tribes who now live on a State-supervised reservation in Polk County, Texas.
