ALIBAMU ALLAKAWEAH 



[b. a. 



living in Calcasieu parish, otliers in the 

 Creek Nation in Indian T., and a party 

 of about 200 in Polk co., Tex. 



Little has been recorded in regard to 

 the character and customs of the Ali- 

 baniu, but that they were warlike in dis- 

 position is evident from their early his- 

 tory. One singular custom mentioned 

 by Penicaut seems to a])ply to the Ali- 

 bamu as well as to the Mobile Indians. 

 They caused their children, both boys 

 and girls, to pass in array at a certain 

 festival and receive a flogging of such 

 severity as to draw blood, after which 

 they were lectured 1)y one or more of the 

 elders. Hawkins states: "They did not 

 conform to the customs of the Creeks, 

 and the Creek law for the punishment of 

 adultery was not known among them. 

 They cultivated the soil to some extent 

 and had some hogs, horses, and cattle. 

 Though hospitable, it was their custom 

 when a white person visited them, as 

 soon as he had eaten, what was left was 

 thrown away and everything which had 

 been used [by the white person] was 

 washed. ' ' The 4 Alibanu; towns situated 

 on Alabama r. are given l)y Hawkins 

 (Sketch of Creek country, 1799) as Kan- 

 chati, Tawosa, Pawokti, and Atagi. 

 Others give Nitahauritz as one of the 

 four. (a. s. g. c. t. )
