1 Pensacola – A Muskogean word. Most likely, the name is a derivation of Pansfalaya, an Indian tribe. The Choctaw called them the "long-haired people." Steinhatchee -- The name is derived from the Muskogee "ak" (down), "isti" (man) and "hatchee" (creek). It means "dead man's creek." Tallahassee -- The name is derived from a Muskogee word meaning "old town." Weeki Wachee -- From the Muskogee words "wekiwa" (spring) and "chee" (little), the town's name means "little spring." Hialeah -- Of Muskogee origin "haiyakpo" (prairie) and "hili" (pretty), Hialeah means pretty prairie. Hillsborough River or Locktsapopka -- The Indian name of the waterway came from the Muskogee "lokchia" (acorns) and "papka" (eating place) -- the place where the acorns are eaten. Homosassa -- The name comes from the Muskogee "homo" (pepper) and "sasi" (is there) -- the place where the wild pepper grows. Ocala -- The literal meaning of this Indian word is "heavily clouded," perhaps beyond discovery. Did you know there are 27 states that have Indian names? Can you think of any of them? http://www.flheritage.com/facts/reports/names/index.cfm Bell Work Activity: Native American Place Names in Florida

The Indian Removal Act of 1830 allowed for the forced removal of those Native Americans still remaining in the southeast area. The red lines show the various trails they took when they were forced to relocate to Indian Territory in what is now Oklahoma (a Choctaw work meaning land of the red man).

5 The Trail of Tears, “the Trail Where They Cried” – nu na hi du na tlo hi lu i – in Cherokee language, refers to Cherokee Removal, to their forced relocation in 1838, but the Cherokees were not the only Native Americans forced to emigrate as a result of the Indian Removal efforts of the United States.Trail of Tears http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://mapoftheunitedstates.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/trail_of_tears_map2.jpg&imgrefurl=http://mapoftheunitedstates.wordpress.com/2008/04/08/trail-of-tears-

6 A Cherokee Legend The Beginning of Time The Great Spirit became lonely and took a seed from his pocket and held it between his hands and blew his warm breath on it and our world began to form. As it grew he added a pinch of sage to his hands and it became the land. While sitting there all alone he cried a tear and it became the waters. As he looked at his creation he knew it would need a caretaker, so he tossed it into the air and blew the winds across it to hold it in place. He took a pinch of cedar and tossed it on to this new world and it became the animals. Seeing all this was good he reached into his pocket and withdrew the blue- corn meal and tossed it onto the world and it became the grasses and plants. The next day he entered this new world and named all the animals The Four- legs, The Wing Ones and those that swam in the waters. Looking around he came to understand there were no two legged one so he reached down and took a hand full of earth and blew on it and it was the first human being. This is how my grandmother told me about the coming of our world. http://www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legends/TheBeginningOfTime-Cherokee.htmlhttp://www.firstpeople.us/FP-Html-Legends/TheBeginningOfTime-Cherokee.html http://lostworlds.org/ocmulgee_videos.htmlhttp://lostworlds.org/ocmulgee_videos.html Traditional Northern Cherokee Warrior Dance
