Habiquache. On the Popple map (pi. 4). 
Ikan ati'iiaka, "Holy Ground," a temporary settlement on the south side of 
Alabama River, occupied by the Creek leaders, Weatherford and Hilia hadjo, during 
the Creek-American war, until it was destroyed, December 23, 1813. It is said to 
have contained 200 houses at the time. Brannon Locates it in Lowndes County 2\ 
miles due north of White Hall, just below the mouth of Holy Ground Creek on Old 
Sprott Plantation. 1 
Istapoga ('Where people live"). Gatschet gives this as an Upper Creek settle- 
ment, and Brannon says it was "in Talladega County, near the influx of Estafeoga 
Creek into Choccolocco Creek; aboul 10 miles from the Coosa River." There is a 
modern place so called in Talladega County, Alabama. 2

Kkk<ut. Given b IF. R. Ex. Doc. 276, 24th Cong., 1st sess., p. 162, 1836, as a 
Creek settlement, apparently on the tipper Coosa. 
Litafatchi, Littefutchi. The name is said by Gatschet to refer to the manu- 
facture of arrows, li. 3 This was an Upper Creek town at the head of Canoe Creek, 
St. Clair County, Alabama. It was burned by Colonel Dyer October 29, 1813. 4 It 
was probably the same as, or on the same site as, the Olitifar mentioned in the Fardo 
narratives, although Olitifar was a ''destroyed town" when Pardo heard of it. 5 
Lustuhatchee. A town above the second cataract of the Tallapoosa River; 
lustu.^ perhaps Erom lasti, black, hatchee, river. 
Melton's Village. "An Upper Creek town, in Marshall County. Alabama, on 
Town Creek, at the site of the present 'Old Village Ford.' Meltonsville perpetuates 
the name." 6 
NInntpaskxtlgee. Woodward '• mentions a band of Upper Creek Indians of this 
name. They seem to have been located near Tukabahchee. 
Nipky. McCall s mentions this. It would appear to have been a Lower Creek 
town. 
Oakchxnawa Village (okchan, "salt"). Given by Owen as an Upper Creek town 
"In Talladega County, on both sides of Salt Creek, near the point where it flows into 
Big Shoal Creek." 9 There may have been some connection between this town and 
the Creek Oktcanalgi or Salt Clan. 
Old Osoxee Town. Given by Royce as a village probably belonging to the Upper 
Creeks, on Cahawba River, in Shelby County, Alabama. 10 
Oti palin ('Ten islands'"). A town on the west bank of Coosa River, just below 
the junction of Canoe Creek. Fort Strother was just below. 11 See Chinnaby's Fort. 
Oti tutcina ("Oteetooeheenas, Three Islands"). Swan gives this in his list of 
Creek towns. 12 It seems to have been between Coosa and Opillako or Pakan Talla- 
hassee, and the name probably referred to three islands in Coosa River. 
Pea Cheek. A settlement mentioned along with Tukabahchee in the census of 
1761. 13 It may have been an outsettlement of Tukabahchee.
