New Georgia Encyclopedia: Spanish Missions The first successful mission established in Georgia was San Pedro de Mocama, founded in the capital town of the Timucua-speaking Mocama chiefdom on the southern end of present-day Cumberland Island. By the end of 1595 missions had also been established in at least one other Mocama town and no fewer than five main towns of the Muskogee-speaking Guale chiefdom on the northern Georgia coast. The surviving descendants of Georgia's Guale and Mocama missions were among the eighty-nine Indians who chose to evacuate Florida with the Spanish in 1763, relocating permanently to Cuba. www.georgiaencyclopedia.org /nge/Article.jsp?id=h-572   (1150 words)

Yamasee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the 1670s the Westo tribe forced the Yamasee to move south from the Savannah River. They were mentioned regularly on Spanish mission census records in northern Florida and the missionary provinces of Guale and Mocama, but usually did not convert to Christianity and remained somewhat segregated from the Christian Indians of Spanish Florida.

New Georgia Encyclopedia: English Trade in Deerskins and Indian Slaves After the establishment of St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565, Spanish Catholic missionaries labored among the Guale and Mocama of the Georgia coast and the Apalachee and Timucua of present-day north Florida. Others moved closer to the Spanish mission Indians of Guale and Mocama, on the Georgia coast, and became known as the Yamasees. When it became obvious that they were not under English control, the Carolinians hired a group of Shawnees, who had moved to the Savannah River in 1674 (possibly as one of many groups leaving the Ohio Valley because of Iroquois raiding) to destroy the Westos. www.georgiaencyclopedia.org /nge/Article.jsp?id=h-585   (1905 words)

St. Simons Island, Georgia, History, Spanish Missionary, Missions, GA The two Mocama missions left were widely separated and the intervening coast settled by unconverted Yamassees. The confusion and helplessness of the missionary and refugee Indians mounted as English pirates terrorized the Mocama and Guale coast in 1683. Most of the remaining Mocama and Guale Indians had already abandoned the missions and retreated southward to the St. Augustine area, to be eventually absorbed by the Yamassees. www.stsimonsislandexperience.com /site/539680/page/123253   (2776 words)

LostWorlds.org | Dawn of Oglethorpe's Georgia And by the time the adult Oglethorpe finally arrived to establish the new city of Savannah in 1733, the coastal borderlands between English Carolina and Spanish Florida had been largely uninhabited for almost half a century, except for the short-lived Fort King George (1721-1727) at the mouth of the Altamaha River. In place of the indigenous Guale and Mocama, the remnants of which were at that time living near St. Augustine in Florida, was a small immigrant band of Lower Creeks led by an elderly chief called Tomochichi, originally from the town called Apalachicola. As described by Oglethorpe himself upon his arrival, "A little Indian Nation, the only one within fifty miles, is not only at amity but desire to be subject of the Trustees, to have land given them and to breed their children at our schools. www.lostworlds.org /gbo_oglethorpe.html   (821 words)

Before Creek and Cherokee   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) The turbulent and devastating years after first contact and colonization by Europeans resulted in the fragmentation and extinction of many indigenous Indian societies, and it is only the transformed societies created by the survivors (principally the Creek and Cherokee for Georgia) whose names persist in modern memory. Although several small outposts and Jesuit missions were established along the Georgia coast soon after St. Augustine was founded, it was not until the very end of the 16th century that missionization by Franciscan friars truly began in earnest, pushing the Spanish sphere of influence deeper and deeper into Georgia. In 1683-1684, Carolina-supported pirates effectively decimated the old Guale and Mocama provinces, and the indigenous inhabitants of the Georgia coast were forced to retreat southward to Amelia Island on the northern Florida coast. web.mala.bc.ca /davies/H320/Worth.BeforeCreek.Cherokee.htm   (4261 words)

Okefenokee Swamp Actually, the Okefenokee was inhabitable and had been extensively settled by early cultures of Moundbuilders, both prehistoric and transitional. Following the decline of the Moundbuilder civilization, the Okefenokee swamp was the border for three Indian Nations, the Mocama (to the north), the Timucua (to the south and east), and the Apalatchee (to the west). Both the Mocama and the Timucua were members of the Creek Confederacy, possibly descendants of the earlier Moundbuilders. www.ourgeorgiahistory.com /places/okefenokee.html   (1522 words)

AmericanHeritage.com / Private Fastness: TALES OF WILD So far, little is known about these ancient Americans, but we have a great deal of information about the later inhabitants, the Timucua Indians, who controlled the island when French and Spanish explorers first sailed the coast in the sixteenth century. Most experts think the churches were built of wood, and despite their size—Mocama was as large as the church in St. Augustine in the early 1600’s—there is little hope anything but their locations will be found. San Pedro Mocama, which was established in 1587, was the principal Franciscan mission for this area of the coast. www.americanheritage.com /articles/magazine/ah/1972/3/1972_3_26.shtml   (4095 words)

Cartersville and Bartow County, History and Geology The terms Guale (on the map south of the Savannah River and north of the Altamaha river) and Mocama (on the map south of the Altamaha River and north of the St. Marys River), and the term Jekyll Island, are described on a John Worth web page as follows: "... The entire southern coast of Georgia was inhabited by a completely distinct chiefdom ultimately known as MOCAMA, which extended from the mouth of the Altamaha River all the way down to the mouth of the St. Johns River near present-day Jacksonville, Florida. Not only did the MOCAMA speak a totally different language (Timucuan) than the GUALE (Muskogean), but they also found themselves at war with one another during the 1597 GUALE rebellion, when GUALE Indians launched an assault on the capital-town of the Spanish-allied MOCAMA province on Cumberland Island. www.valdostamuseum.org /hamsmith/location.html   (8528 words)
