“Their own way of warring”: The making and persistence of Cherokee and Muscogulge identity, 1500–1800
This dissertation focuses on the relationship between the Cherokees and the Muscogulges and how that relationship, built on hostility, helped to create and perpetuate their respective identities up to 1800. This study begins before the arrival of Europeans and argues that ancestors of each group had already established an enmity with the ancestors of the other. Specifically this project places interactions among indigenous people as essential to identity formation, and it is regional in scope. This project takes a multidimensional view of Cherokee and Muscogulge history demonstrating how interactions with each other created, continually shaped, and perpetuated their respective core identities. The transformation from Late Mississippian societies to historic Cherokee and Muscogulge societies occurred because of changes in their natural and human environments initiated by climatic fluctuations, the increased presence of chronic diseases, and the encroachment of native outsiders and Europeans into Chero-Musogia. The European invasion introduced Old World chronic and epidemic diseases, new ideas, and a different material culture that also had disruptive impacts on native societies. In an effort to grapple with the changes in their physical world, the Cherokees and Muscogulges turned to the metaphysical for solutions to their problems. Their ceremonial system laid the ground work for their relations with each other and neighboring groups. It set the stage for significant indigenous alliances to be formed. These alliances, built upon old and new relationships, directed the historical trajectory of the region throughout most of the colonial period. After Anglo-Americans gained control of the Southeast, the Cherokees' and Muscogulges' spiritual system provided a framework around which they developed strategies to preserve their identities.
