NO, The Yamassee Muskogee Nation is not Affiliated nor Chartered by any other , Clan or "Embassy Nations".We are working with several legal Geniune Native American organizations, to bring Unity amongst other tribes, and nations, pertaining to the Condition of our Mother Earth! For the integrity of "We the People" of the Muskogee , creek Stock, we do not deal with Rogue Splinter Tribes! A"FUNCTIONING" Government,with Constitutions put in place and established by the people, and for the people must be present, along with a tribal Council.

*AUTHORIZATION* The Tribal Elders of Florida and other Muskogee Creek descendants authorized the Formation of The ( New )Yamassee Muskogee Nation, after searching for another Pure Blood Yamassee descendant to lead as Miki (Chief). Utilizing the U.N. Declaration of the rights of Indengious People the Constitution of The Yamassee Muskogee Nation, has been ratified by our Matriarchs & Tribal Elders of "WE the People" of Muskogee Stock.

Ques?
Are you an African Group, or a Moorish faction of Indians?
Ans.
NO, we are a Multi-Ethnic group of NATIVE AMERICANS as described in Wiki & Our Nation comprises mostly of the core family affiliated with the Yamassee as it once did in history! As Congressional records show, we were described as "African Indians" and that is the core of our nation, being dark Skinned, but Our members & citizens are all of Different Shades, from Pale to Dark hue, as well as Our Red brothers and sisters. Also we recognize the endless information of Yamassee who describe themselves only as Moor(s), but this is inaccurate for us, and Unfair to Our other family members who know themselves to be of Muskogee (Yamassee) Stock!

Extinct? Putting The Puzzle Together

For those who have been interested in learning about who the Yamassee were, and are in present day one can can easily go into your favorite search engine and spend hours trying piece together the information. Through Sites like wikipedia, historical documents, & books we can find the entire picture, and put it back together, piece by piece.

One of the reasons for this current confusion is that it comes from the fact that they (the Natives) did not classify each other by names, like the way the colonists did. This explains why researching, one has to look under not just Yamasee, but Yemasee, Yamassee, & Ya'ma-si.



The colonist gave names to groups, or tribes of people based upon how they interacted with them and there land. The names were recorded by many & interpreted from the different factions who encountered them. With each "historian" came his view, his opinion, his rendition.
 
Researching, one can only say it was the attempt of the settlers to try and divide and conquer the indigenous peoples. The colonist convinced them of the advantage of being able to identify each tribe located by regions, then separated them by creating boarders, from their maps of the territory.
