Wakokai

The Wakokai Tribe, indicated by a name meaning “heron breeding place,” is not traced back to a specific origin within the Creek divisions. Their first recorded appearance is on a 1733 map near the Coosa River. By 1799, they had a distinct community with agricultural practices and livestock. Confusion exists regarding their ties with nearby groups like Wiogufki and Tukpafka, suggesting complex historical relationships. Informants indicate that various divisions may have emerged from the Wakokai, linked to others through later associations rather than direct lineage.
