Kealedji Tribe

The Kealedji Tribe, believed to have originated as a branch of Tukabahchee, likely separated early in its history. The name suggests a relatively recent origin, confirmed by its absence from early documentation. Identified with various historic references, the tribe’s settlements included Ki-a-li-jee and several villages known for poor land quality but agricultural activity. Despite facing destruction in 1813, they persisted in maintaining cultural practices, including a dance ground, following their relocation to Oklahoma.
