Thronateeska Kinchafoonee Tribe
The Thronateeska Kinchafoonee Tribe honors the Creek heritage of southern Georgia, where the Creek Indians once thrived. The tribe’s name reflects key geographical landmarks: Thronateeska, the Creek word for “flint,” and Kinchafoonee, referencing a major creek in the region. These names embody the deep connection between the tribe and the land. The Black Creek Choctaw, many of whom were later recognized as Freedmen, have ancestral ties to these lands and the broader Creek Nation. Their descendants honor this legacy by continuing to preserve cultural practices, oral histories, and the memory of their ancestors’ struggles and triumphs.
