Yuchi (Amerind tribe)
The Yuchi, also spelled Euchee and Uchee, are people of a Native American tribe who live in the eastern Tennessee River valley in Tennessee in the sixteenth century.
The Yuchi are well known mound builders.
During the seventeenth century, they move south to Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.
After suffering many fatalities due to epidemic disease and warfare in the eighteenth century, several surviving Yuchi are removed to Indian Territory in the 1830s, together with their allies the Muscogee Creek.
(Some who remain in the South are classified as "free persons of color"; others are enslaved.)
Some remnant groups migrate to Florida, where they become part of the recently formed Seminole Tribe of Florida.Today the Yuchi live primarily in the northeastern Oklahoma area, where many are enrolled as citizens in the federally recognized Muscogee Creek Nation.
Some Yuchi are enrolled as members of other federally recognized tribes, such as the Absentee Shawnee Tribe and the Cherokee Nation.
