The Muscgoee Tribe is currently located in Modern Day Oklahoma. Previously, they settled in Tennessee, Alabama, Western Georgia, and Northern Florida.

The word "Muscogee" comes from the meaning of "the Holly Leaf Confederacy", referring to the Holly Leaf which was used as medicine. Alternate Spellings include; Muskogee, Mvskoke and Maskoke

The Muscogee speak the language of "Mvskoke". You can see the Image attached to see the difference in comparison to English
