Yuchi ceremonial life
performance, meaning, and tradition in a contemporary American Indian community
by Jason Baird Jackson
The Yuchis are one of the least known yet most distinctive of the Native groups in the American southeast. Located in late prehistoric times in eastern Tennessee, they played an important historical role at various times during the last five centuries and in many ways served as a bridge between their southeastern neighbors and Native communities in the northeast. First noted by the de Soto expedition in the sixteenth century, the Yuchis moved several times and made many alliances over the next few centuries.

Work Description
Dr. Jackson's text is an excellent current overview of the Yuchi People and culture in Oklahoma. While it does not delve deeply into their pre-Oklahoma history, nor even the details of the current politics, it does paint a very clear picture of the Yuchi people and their precarious existence as wards of the Creek Nation who are wards of the Federal government, as well as their staunch pride and traditionalism that has preserved this culture despite the forces bent on extinguishing it.
