Chiefs of the Muscogee

Muscogee chief

Menawa, first called Hothlepoya (), was a Muscogee (Creek) chief and military leader. He was of mixed race, with a Creek mother and a fur trader father of Scottish ancestry. As the Creek had a matrilineal system of descent and leadership, his status came from his mother's clan.
