While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A complete listing of all the Indian
villages, towns and settlements as listed in Handbook of Americans North of
Mexico.
Hatchichapa (half-way creek). A former branch
settlement of the Upper Creek town Kailaidshi, between Coosa and Tallapoosa rs.,
Ala. Hawkins states that the Creeks hostile to the United States burned it in
1813, but it was probably rebuilt as it is mentioned in Parsons census list of
1832 as having 62 heads of families.
Hillabi (pron. hi′-la-pi).
A former Upper Creek town near the present Ashland, Clay co., Ala., in the
"central district" between Coosa and Tallapoosa rs, on Koufadi cr., a branch of
Hillabee cr. Most of the Hillabi people had settled before 1799 in the 4
villages called Hlanudshiapala, Anatichapko, Istudshilaika, and Uktahasasi. In
the vicinity of Hillabi town its inhabitants, with other "Red Sticks," or
hostiles, were vanquished by Jackson s army, Nov. 18, 1813, when 316 of them
were killed or captured and their town devastated. (A. S. G.)
Hlahlokalka (Lá′lo-kálka:
‘lá′lo
'fish', akálgäs
'I am separated from'). A former Upper Creek settlement established by the
Okchayi on a small river forming ponds, 4 m. above Oakfuskee, Cleburne co., Ala.
(A. S. G.)
Hlanudshiapala (‘láni
'mountain', udshi dim. suffix, apála
'on the other side': 'on the other side of a little mountain'). A former Upper
Creek settlement, one of the four Hillabi villages, with a town square, situated
on the N. w. branch of Hillabi cr., Ala., 15 m. from Hillabi town. (A. S G.)
Hlaphlako (Láp-‘láko,
'tall cane'). Two former Upper Creek villages on or near Cupiahatchee cr., in
Macon co., Ala., with 81 and 66 heads of families, respectively, in 1832.
Hlekatchka (’Le-kátchka,
or ’Li-i-kátchka,
'from ’le or
’li, 'arrow', kátchka,
'broken': 'broken arrow'). A former Lower Creek town on a trail ford crossing
Chattahoochee r., 12 m. below Kasihta, on the w. side of the river, probably in
Russell co., Ala. According to Hawkins (Am. State Papers, Ind. Aff., i, 858,
1832) the settlement was destroyed in 1814; but it was apparently
reestablished, as it was represented in the
treaty of Nov. 15, 1827, and a census of 1832 (Schoolcraft, Ind.
Tribes, iv, 578, 1854) gives the number of families as 331 in that year. (A.
S. G. )
Hobeckentopa. A locality, possibly a town, where a
treaty with the Choctaw was concluded
Aug. 31, 1803. It was on Tombigbee r. , in the E. part of Washington co.
, Ala., perhaps on or near a bluff of the same name upon which St Stephens now
stands. (H.W.H)
Huhlitaiga (Hú‘li-täíiga,
'war ford'). A lower Creek village on Chattahoochee r., about the present
Georgia-Alabama boundary, the inhabitants of which in or prior to 1799 removed
to Oakfuski, settling on the opposite side of the Tallapoosa.
Huhliwahli (to apportion war). A former Upper Creek
town on the right bank of Tallapoosa r., 5 m. below Atasi, in Macon co., Ala. It
obtained its name from the privilege of declaring war which was accorded to it,
the declaration being sent from this town to Tukabatchi, thence to the other
villages. (A. S. G.)
