In Yuchi Indian Histories Before the Removal Era, folklorist and
anthropologist Jason Baird Jackson and nine scholars of Yuchi
(Euchee) Indian culture and history offer a revisionist and
in-depth portrait of Yuchi community and society. This first
interdisciplinary history of the Yuchi people corrects the
historical record, which often submerges the Yuchi within the Creek
Confederacy instead of acknowledging the Yuchi as a separate tribe.
By looking at the oral, historical, ethnographic, linguistic, and
archaeological record, contributors illuminate Yuchi political
circumstances and cultural identity. Focusing on the pre-Removal
era, the volume shows that from the entrada of Hernando de Soto
into the American South in 1541 to the Yuchis' internal migrations
throughout the hinterlands of the South and their entanglement with
the Creeks to the maintenance of community and identity today, the
Yuchis have persisted as a distinct people. This volume provides a
voice to an indigenous nation that previous generations of scholars
have misidentified or erroneously assumed to be a simple
constituent of the Creek Nation. In doing so, it offers a fuller
picture of Yuchi social realities since the arrival of Europeans
and other non-natives in their Southern homelands.
