Alabama people

Years: 1396 - 2057

The Alabama or Alibamu (Albaamaha in the Alabama language) are a Southeastern culture people of Native Americans, originally from Alabama.

They are members of the Muscogee Creek Confederacy, a loose trade and military organization of autonomous towns; their home lands are on the upper Alabama River.The Alabama and closely allied Coushatta people migrate from Alabama and Mississippi to the area of Texas in the late eighteenth century and early nineteenth century, under pressure from European-American settlers to the east.

They essentially merge and share reservation land.

Although the tribe is terminated in the 1950s, it achieves federal recognition in 1987 as the Alabama-Coushatta Tribe of Texas.

Its 1,137 members in 2016 have about 4,500 acres (18 km2) of reservation.The Alabama-Quassarte Tribal Town is a federally recognized tribe, headquartered in Wetumka, Oklahoma.
