Mikasuki

Mikasuki was a Native town near Lake Miccosukee, in the wooded country of northern Florida. Its people were part of the communities of Creek origin who moved into Florida and became associated with the Seminole. In 1818, during the First Seminole War, an American army under Andrew Jackson entered Spanish Florida and attacked the Mikasuki settlements. The town was taken and destroyed as the campaign pushed farther into the peninsula.
