Native American Tribe Series

Sawokli

 

Belonging to the Muscogean linguistic stock, they formerly lived on the Chattahoochee River in the northeastern part of the present Barbour County, Alabama. A Spanish mission, Santa Cruz de Sabacola, was established in among one section of the tribe by Bishop Calderón of Cuba in 1675, and missionaries were sent to a larger body among the Creek tribe in 1679 and again in 1681. Most of the Indians surrounding these; however, soon became hostile and those who were Christianized withdrew to the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint Rivers, where they were settled not far from the newly established Chatot missions. The Sawokli appear to have remained in the same general region until 1706 or 1707, when they were displaced by hostile Indians, probably of the Creek tribe. In the early 1700’s they split up into several settlements but followed the fortunes of the Lower Creek Indians. In 1750, they were reported to number about 50 men living in four settlements, and in 1832, they numbered about 187 people.

Had originally pulled up to a GZ similar to the last one, and realized I had not gone far enough so got back in the car. 200 more feet. TFTC

The cache is smashed but the log and baggie are intact. I visited the Brighton area a few days ago in order to cache in a new area and get a good start on the hidden creatures challenge. Thank you for placing this cache and helping to keep our recreation going.

Caching today mcklo. Our Mom turned 55 today, so we are out to get 55 caches! I have found most of them on our journey, but it is fun to revisit some old finds!

It started to snow quite a lot as we were getting these caches, but we kept on going! We were on a mission!

Cache: 22/55
