Creek Indian Bands, Gens and Clans

Many tribes have sub-tribes, bands, gens, clans and phratry.  Often very little information is known or they no longer exist.  We have included them here to provide more information about the tribes.

  • Chukotalgi (toad). An extinct Creek clan, closely affiliated with the Toad or Sopaktalgi clan.
  • Fusualgi. The Forest Bird (?) clan of the Creeks

  • Hutalgalgi (hútali ‘wind ‘, algi people). A principal Creek clan.
