Creek Indian Bands, Gens and Clans

Many tribes have sub-tribes, bands, gens, clans and phratry.  Often very little information is known or they no longer exist.  We have included them here to provide more information about the tribes.

  • Chukotalgi (toad). An extinct Creek clan, closely affiliated with the Toad or Sopaktalgi clan.
  • Fusualgi. The Forest Bird (?) clan of the Creeks
  • Hlahloalgi (fish people). An extinct Creek clan.
  • Hutalgalgi (hútali ‘wind ‘, algi people). A principal Creek clan.
  • Isfanalgi. An extinct clan of the Creeks, said by Gatschet to be seemingly analogous to the Ishpani phratry and clan of the Chickasaw.
  • Itamalgi. A Creek clan.
  • Itchhasualgi (itchhasua ‘beaver’, algi ‘people’). A Creek clan. Gatschet, Creek Migr. Leg., i, 155, 1884.
