Caption: The Southeastern Indians Today
Additional Description: For over 10,000 years this was their homeland, but no Indian groups remain in the Chattahoochee Valley today. The descendants of the old tribes live in modern communities in South Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma. Southeastern Indian culture suffered many centuries of hardship and oppression, yet today is vigorous and strong. Sacred traditions and ancient customs, such as those symbolized here, are not easily destroyed.
