In the New France era, the southeastern Indians were a group of nations belonging to several linguistic families. The Calusa, the Seminole, the Timucua, the Creek, the Choctaw, the Alabama and the Chickasaw spoke Muskogean languages; the Biloxi and the Catawba, a Siouan language; the Cherokee, an Iroquoian language; the Caddo, a Caddoan language; and the Natchez, a language that was not related to any other.  |
