Answer 1

The pre-colonial American Indian tribe that is most closely associated with Tennessee is the Creek. The Creek Nation, also known as the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, historically inhabited parts of the southeastern United States, including present-day Tennessee. The other tribes listed—Kwakiutl (from the Pacific Northwest), Mattaponi (from Virginia), and Apache (primarily from the southwestern United States)—are not associated with Tennessee.
