The Apalachee

The Apalachee were the most politically and socially complex of Florida's natives. they were located in the panhandle of the state, from the Aucilla River westward. Because the land they held was the most conducive to agriculture, they were able to support a larger population, in larger and more numerous villages.

Their principal towns were: Ivitachuco, Calahuchi, Iniahica, Aute and Ochete. Other chiefdoms further west that are linked to them (through custom and a shared Muskogean language) were: Pensacola, Chatot, Apalachicola, Amacano, Chine, Pacara and Sawokli.
