  New Georgia Encyclopedia: Languages of Georgia Indians
There are many speakers of Muskogee in Oklahoma today as a result of the forced removal of the Cherokee and Creek Indians from Georgia lands in the 1830s known as the Trail of Tears.
Because the speakers of Hitchiti were typically forced out of their native lands prior to the removal of people from other areas, scholars know less about this language than some of the others.
Speakers of Hitchiti were integrated into what became the Creek Confederacy in the eighteenth century, and Creek speakers sometimes called their language the Stinkard language.

The Hitchiti was a Muskogean tribe formerly residing chiefly in a town of the same name on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River, 4 miles below Chiaha, and possessing a narrow strip of good land bordering on the river, in west Georgia.

 Seminole Towns of 1900
Hitchiti town and Mikasuki are said to have visited each other more than the remaining towns, and though Hitchiti was on very friendly terms with Chiaha, its neighbor to the north, the Mikasuki are reported to have kept mostly within their own linguistic division.
Hitchiti numbered but a dozen families at the close of the century, a mere hamlet, whereas Mikasuki counted well over a hundred.
The two northernmost towns, Chiaha and Hitchiti, seem always to have been on friendly terms, and when Hitchiti gave up its stomp ground the non Christians danced at Chiaha, though one town was white and the other red.

Meaning perhaps "people on the other side" (as in Hitchiti), or it may be cognate with Choctaw apelachi, "a helper." Connections - These Indians belonged to the Muskhogean linguistic family, their closest connections having been apparently the Hitchiti and Alabama.
The ancient home of the Hitchiti was north of Florida but after the destruction of the earlier tribes of the peninsula, in which they themselves participated, Hitchiti-speaking peoples moved in in great numbers to take their places, so that up to the Creek-American War, the Hitchiti language was spoken by the greater number of Seminole.
Population.- The population of the Hitchiti is usually given in conjunction with that of the other confederate tribes.

I was the Electronics Technician on the USS Hitchiti, ATF-103, which spent the summer of 1954 on Air/Sea Rescue duty at Attu.
While in the area, the Hitchiti also served as the tour guide for several US contractors who were bidding on the salvage rights to the various installations in the Aleutian Island chain.
The building in the photo was the "Rec Hall" that the Hitchiti crew and the crews of other Fleet Tugs that served a tour on Attu, used to fill their off duty time.

 Hitchiti Indian Tribe History
The tribe is not often mentioned in history, and appears for the first time in 1733, when two of its delegates, with the Lower Creek chiefs, met Gov. Oglethorpe at Savannah.
The Seminole are also said to have been a half Creek and half Hitchiti speaking people, although their language is now almost identical with Creek; and it is supposed that the Yamasi likewise spoke the Hitchiti language.
The Hitchiti were absorbed into and became an integral part of the Creek Nation, though preserving to a large extent their own language and peculiar customs.

Before striking off on the trail, we walked down to the old bridge, which was retired about a decade or two ago.

Therefore, estimates of campoplegine richness at Hitchiti are higher in one year (and still increasing) than Patuxent which leveled off with approximately 44 to 47 species.
The highest species richness for the Campopleginae was in Georgia (Hitchiti (49)) and in Maryland for the Ichneumoninae (Patuxent (68)).
Though we appear to have sampled a lower proportion of the possible ichneumonine diversity, and hence, are less confident in the strength of our finding for this taxon, it appears that ichneumonine diversity is higher at Maryland than elsewhere, confirming Janzen's (1981) study.

The Seminole tribe developed in the 18th century from members of the Creek Confederacy, mostly Creeks and Hitchiti, who raided and eventually settled in Florida, which was then Spanish territory.
Joined by other refugee Native Americans and escaped fl slaves, they were cut off from the Creek Confederacy when the United States-Florida border was settled.

 SOFIA - Resource and Land Information for South Dade County, Florida - Miccosukee Indians
In the early 1500's the Creek Nation was composed of two major language groups, Muskogee and Hitchiti.
The Hitchiti group was given the name "Mikasuki" which has evolved into "Miccosukee".
The Miccosukee Tribe occupied parts of the Carolinas and Georgia until white settlers began arriving in the late 1500's when the Miccosukee began moving inland and southward, settling in north Florida around Tallahassee.

The first accurate census of the Yamasee and Guale Indians together, made in 1715, perhaps omitting some few of the latter still in Florida, gives 413 men and a total population of 1,215.
The Hitchiti are often associated with a location in the present Chattahoochee County, Ga., but at an earlier period were on the lower course of the Ocmulgee River.
The Okmulgee probably separated from the Hitchiti or one of their cognate towns when these towns were on Ocmulgee River and settled at the point above indicated, where they became closely associated with the Chiaha and Osochi.
