Utinahica

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Utinahica were a tribe of Native Americans living, in the 17th century, in what would someday be known as Georgia, in the southern United States. Their descendants include the Creek Indians.

This group was the subject of one of the New World's first Christian missionary expeditions, Santa Isabel de Utinahica, a settlement built for a single Franciscan monk, who was intended to work on converting them to Christianity, as well as gathering information on them, from around 1610 to 1640.
