Ki-a-li-jee; on the right side of Kialijee Creek, two and a half miles below the junc- 
tion with Hook-choie. This creek joins the right side of Tallapoosa, above the falls; 
all the rich flats of the creek are settled; the land about the town is poor and broken; 
the fields are on the narrow flats and in the bends of the creek; the broken land is 
gravelly or stony; the range for cattle, hogs, and horses is the poorest in the nation; 
the neighborhood of the town and the town itself has nothing to recommend it. The 
timber is pine, oak, and small hickory; the creek is fifteen 1 feet wide, and joins Talla- 
poosa fifteen 1 miles above Took-au-bat-che. They have two villages belonging to 
this town. 
1st. Au-che-nau-hat-che; from au-che-nau, cedar; and hat-che, a creek. They have 
a few settlements on this creek, and some fine, thriving peach trees; the land on the 
creek is broken, but good. 2 
2d. Hat-che-chub-bau ; from hat-che, a creek; and chub-bau, the middle, or halfway. 
This is in the pine forest, a poor, ill-chosen site, and there are but a few people. 3 
The last-mentioned settlement and the main town were burned by 
hostile Creeks in 1813. The name Kealedji occurs in the list of 
1832. 4 After their removal west these people settled in the south- 
eastern part of the Creek Nation, where they still (1912) have a dance 
ground but no regular square. 
Hatcheetcaba (Hatci tcaba), the second village of Hawkins, appears 
as far back as the census of 1760. 5 It is also in those of 1761, 6 and 1832, 7 
but not in the lists of Bartram and Swan. It preserved its identity 
after removal to Oklahoma, where it maintained a dance ground, 
but it is not certain that it ever had a regular square. 
The Pakana 
We now come to peoples incorporated in the Muskhogean confed- 
eration which were probably distinct bodies and yet not certainly 
possessed of a peculiar dialect like the Hitchiti, Alabama, and other 
tribes of foreign origin already considered. The Pakana are given 
by Adair as one of those people which the Muskogee had "artfully" 
induced to incorporate with them, and he is confirmed as to the 
main fact by Stiggins, whose account of them is as follows: 
The Puccunnas at this day are only known by tradition to have been a distinct 
people and their antient town or habitation is called Puccun Tal ahassee which is 
Puccun old town. This antient town is in the present Coosa County of this State 
[Alabama]. The Au-bih-kas have a tradition that they were a distinct people and 
that they in old times were very numerous, but do not say whether they were immi- 
grants or not, or at what time they became one of the national body. But they say 
as they belonged to the national body one and inseparable there was no distinction 
made so that by continual intermarriage with the other tribes they at length became 
absorbed and assimilated with their neighbors without distinction and no other 
knowledge is left regarding them but the name of their antient habitation. Whether 
in conversation they had a separate tongue of their own or not tradition is silent. 8 
i The Lib. Cong. MS. has "20" in each of these places. 
• In his " Letters" he says this village consisted of "6 habitations and a small town house."— Ga. Hist.
