Abihka

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Abihka were a division of the Upper Creeks. Their main place of residence was in what is now Talladega County, Alabama. At times their name is used for all of the Upper Creeks. They had three towns named Abihkutchi, Talladega and Kan-tcati. The remnant of the Natchez joined the Abihka when they were dispersed by the French.

[edit] Origins

The Abihka were the remnants of the sixteenth century Chiefdom of Coosa.[1]
