There's no way I'm getting into sifting through the hundreds, if not thousands, of family names of people called Indians in the lower half of North America, now called the USA. The presence or lack of details of these tribes should in no way override our sense of who we already know these people must be and are.What we will find in the lower half of North America is what we have already found in the Nile Valley and in Mesopotamia and in Arabia and in Western Asia and in accounts of the Judaeo-Christian bible and in Central America. That is, despite the many names of people, they still all boil back down to the same people. In recent times, what makes them seem so different is that European education focuses on the small amount and and slight differences more than the enormous amount of sameness. This is exactly the same okie doke being used in DNA Testing results.We'll just touch upon two or three common names that have been confused.
It is unlikely that Creek (an English apellation) only applies to the Muskogee east of the Mississippi River to the Atlantic Ocean. Although the Ochese were among many tribes located west of the Savannah River, in the early eighteenth century of the common era, the name Ochese (Ocheese, Ochesee) came to be the name most commonly used to represent the eastern Muskogee. This is because “Ocheese” meaning “people” was the Hitchiti term for their Muskhogean neighbors.
Thus so far we have Creek and Ochese being applied to eastern Muskogee, and likely to many more, if not all tribes east of the Mississippi.
A potential clue to the confusion and inclusion is that the upper Ocmulgee river above Macon, Georgia, was known to the English as Ochese Creek (Ocha-sa Creek). We can seek how Ochese and Creek can become interchangeable.
The Muskogee west of the Mississippi were called Alabamas, Talapoosas and Abihkas. In some instances, the Muskhogee east of the Mississippi are called the Upper Creek while western Muskhogee are the Lower Creek. The Yamasee are described as a separate group. The Origin of the Name of the Creek Indians by Crane, Verner W., Pub. 1918, by The Mississippi Valley Historical Review, Volume 5.
Muskhogean is comprised of the Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks, and Seminoles. The Cherokee, although not Muskhogean, also almost exclusively occupied that vast territory stretching from the eastern shores of the Mississippi, from the Gulf of Mexico, far into Kentucky and thence eastward to the Atlantic Ocean. According to the uncivilized perspective of white people, the four Muskhogean tribes, plus the Cherokee, were said to be much more advanced than Northern tribe, thus the five tribes became known as "The Five Civilized Tribes." This was clearly a temporary okie doke ploy to continue to get all they could from the Muskhogee, in preparation for the final Judas kiss of deception. The Muskhogee were buttered up further by being called Creeks par excellence (Super Coons).
Despite what we are told about the name Creek, Kharekh naturally abrades into Crek and Greek and Creek. (UC#2373 Greek Problem Solved). Now the Creek problem is also pretty much solved.Muscogee (Mascogee).
“Ex” and “Usk” are water-names that sometimes permute.Eusks or Euskarians, are a black-haired pre-Keltic race, short of stature, who left remains in the Basque, the Laps, Wales and Ireland. The Basque call themselves the Euscaldunac. The Eusk name, whatever its origin, is perpetuated on all the waters of Europe, and this in all its forms is traceable to Egyptian.
Sekh or Uskh is an Egyptian name for water. Variants are Ugrian, Esquimo, Ostiak, Uzbek, Osage, Oscan and others. If to this name we add the masculine article, P, we get P-uskh which yields the Puskh, Basque, Muskh.
The Uskh was a large broad boat on which the Egyptians moved their armies by water. Uskh also means to range out far and wide. Thus we have the water and the bark, the mariners and the voyagers, all named in Egyptian; also the Uskh people who went out on the Uskh, in the Uskh, rowed by the Uskh, in the Uskh range as far as the migration extended.
