Cassatees

Cassatees recalls the Koasati, a Muskogean-speaking people whose homeland included the Tennessee River valley. English and French records used different names for communities in this country, calling them Koasati and Kaskinampo respectively. The river's islands and banks held their settlements; archaeological remains on Pine Island belong to a period of occupation extending into the early eighteenth century. Some Koasati later moved south to the country near the junction of the Coosa and Tallapoosa rivers, where they became associated with the Creek towns.
