If this is real and true, then absolutely amazing history here! So much of the time people mislead about old Native American sites (especially in the south!) - but I think this is the real deal.

Interesting area. There is a book that talks about the ancient people of America. The Book of Mormon. Has lots info about who and when people came to America and where they are buried in big mounds
I know you kept saying you weren't an expert on Native American burial sites, but you seemed pretty knowledgeable to me! I am just amazed by your ability to find a single grave in all that wilderness. Fascinating history, beautiful scenery, scary roads, and adorable Annie! As always, your obvious respect for all the places and people you visit is so admirable. Another great adventure. Can't wait to return with Dan!
Thanks, I will “pat myself on the back” for being knowledgeable about burials and cemeteries - but when it comes to Native American sites, unfortunately most were destroyed so I don’t come across them often. And therefore I just don’t have much knowledge of them. But I did my best to describe it as it is and relate the oral history - but also rule out other things that it COULD be… which gives more and more evidence that it is indeed a Native American site. And thank you!!
@@AdventuresIntoHistoryYour comment about not documenting more of these sites bc they’re just not that visible was so striking-it really drove home for me just how different our histories are on the East / West coasts. We’re surrounded by Native American historical sites on the West Coast, and native culture (both past & present) is commonplace…it’s just normal for us here, bc you grow up around it & see it everywhere. The fact that it’s less prevalent in GA adds yet another layer to the rich history you have in your state…it’s just so fascinating.
@@bijoulille8816that’s a lot to do with the whole native population removal in the first half of the 19th century. There’s a lot of Native history in my part of Texas but it’s about the same here now as in the video, except more populated with modernity. Edit: There are the Caddo mounds near Crockett, TX and various historical markers explaining the respective Native history if available, such as Indian Rock just east of Gilmer, TX
At time stamp 18:17 to 18:38 the little oak tree is story telling with it curves and bends. My great grandmother was creek her and her sister ( twin) were separated one in creek the other Cherokee and walked the tears. Thank you for sharing info on them I've gone through the Daws files and hardly nothing. Only that her mother died on the trail, and graysun spelt that way, gave her a home. Thank you Robert. It sounded like they were greeting you for coming
Thanks for this tour. My husband's 2nd Great grandmother was a Creek born around 1817 in Georgia and died 1886 in Florida. She has a Creek roll number. We are always curious about what her life would have been like.
Love your videos and enjoy watching them every time. May the lord bless and protect you Robert and Dan and bringing out the past native history of Georgia
This was a beautiful place, especially by the Flint River, and it certainly looks like it's miles and miles away from modern populations, but I can certainly see why the Creek would settle there. I did see the indention you pointed out. I would love to know who is there and what their story is. And it was wonderful to see Annie romping around in the water. She must have been delighted in that. Thank you again, Robert, for showing us this beautiful place. I can't wait to hear what Dan has to say about it. Hope the truck got you back without any problems.
We just moved a few months ago to an old Native American territory..our dog kept barking at something in our bedroom sits and whines.. She was following it.. Even my husband was like what the heck..lol..I prayed and talked to them told them we are here to take care of the property and don't mean any disrespect to their culture..( my husband made fun of me) we have not had anything here since then
I believe you! For one, I know dogs are sensitive to seeing the unseen. Also, I believe spiritual entities can be around us. These might be protective of their home site. You telling them that you mean no harm and your dog's sightings have stopped speaks volumes. They've accepted you. Wow, that's cool and creepy at the same time. LOL! I've seen "shadow people" and am not by any stretch someone who is into the paranormal. I have a healthy respect and interest, tho, so when stories like yours are shared I'll tend to believe it. Especially when there's a dog involved. They don't fake it. I wish you the best and I hope your family lives there in peace and harmony with your invisible guests.😊
Robert you have made me so happy...I am not Creek, but we call all of us, as the PEOPLE. I was so excited to see the beautiful area. The sanctuary, the hills and especially the river...magnificent....thanks again for risking that drive up there for us. Many Blessings to you ❤
I am of Creek people in Alabama, Poarch Creek Indian which of I’m a Tribal Member. I’m a descendant of Lynn McGhee from Alabama area where there is a Lynn McGhee land grant. I’m also a descendant of David Moniac was the first Creek (first Native) to graduate West Point. David Moniac was killed during 2nd Seminole War. There is a Moniac cemetery around the Georgia/Florida line near Glen St Mary, FL. Thanks for all you do and keeping History interesting.
@@josephhupp483 I would love to talk to you about the Lynn McGhee land grant. I’m trying to learn more about my great grandmother and great great grandmother who were McGhee from the Russell County area.
@@josephhupp483 They have never signed a treaty surrendering their land to the US! Osceola developed a trail system of runners to carry & send messages. Seminole in Creek means "to break away" because they were forced to leave their ancestral land in Ga . All my respect Joseph!!!
It was a very beautiful place. Thank You, Robert, for seeing us this place. I love this place and Creek Nation. I live in Poland and I send You from Poland Greetings.
I am Creek. My great grandmother was born in GA and survived removal to Oklahoma. These places are reflective of how peacefully we lived there and in AL. We were spiritual healers and drew our strength from these lands to heal all. Mvto for this valuable trip. These places continue to be sacred, untouched by modernity for a reason in addition to NAGPRA.
Robert, you should make the canoe trip from hwy 18 near woodbury, to sprewell bluff. I grew up on a family farm mear the Flint at the border of Pike, Meriwether, and Upson county. This os the Georgia i will never forget. I have Ga red clay and Flint river water in my veins.
Hear in Britain we maintain neolithic burial sites because it's history of our ancestors 👏 👍 but I understand that it is different there 😊we understand how our ancestors lived then 😊it's a shame it couldn't be saved for the history of the creeks Indian nation 😉 very intresting Robert 😊Andrew south wales uk 👌 👍 👏 😀 😉
Your Neolithic sites are built with multi-ton stone monsters so it is harder to take them apart and vandalize than a Native American burial using small stones you can pick up with your hands.
How very interesting Robert! thank you for documenting this native site. Wouldn't it be great if you could find a Creek Nation Historian to add more information? Thanks again Robert.
I've been following you for years. Every time you put a video out I am glued to it. In this wicked, disrespected, unappreciated world that God created, your videos show that the best things in life are free. I'm an avid hunter, and when I see these beautiful places on your videos, it makes me see just how blessed people were in years gone by. Everything needed was provided by God and the people who worked hard for it.
Thank you Robert for sharing your knowlege and showing us this beautiful area. It is wonderful to see the long leaf pines brought back and doing well.👍👍
Fascinating video! I sent you an email with a very good article about indigenous stone structures including those found in Georgia. I worked as a volunteer field tech (screening dirt, marking artifact bags) on a paleo site here in central PA. Wow--when my husband and I watched your video we both wondered if it might pre-date the Creeks (aka be made by people who were the Creek's ancestors). Like you, I am not well-versed in Native American structures and I am only a beginner in their genealogies--but I do have a number of native friends who have taught me a lot over the years. All the best and many thanks to you and your friends/colleagues for your dedication and hard work. Hope the article I sent in the email is helpful.
I would love to see the caves they lived in. What an interesting video. I live in Tippecanoe County Indiana. We have a rich history of our native American predecessors. Robert, maybe in 20 years you can go back to check on the progress of those pines. I would love to see it.
I am Indigenous. Cherokee, Apache, and Comanche. I live in south GA. Part of my family moved here from the west and part from south. In my home town we had a Cherokee stomp ground. There are Cherokee sites around the GA/FL line. The history of the Cherokee and Creek is complex. Historically it is said we were "enemies." However, when faced with a common threat and disagreements within the tribes, different bands came together. For example... the Seminole (Seminolee) are actually Muscogee and Miccosukee. But also more. Look at the similarities of these names; Miccosukee, Muscogee, Chattahoochee, Yamasee, Apalachee, Ochlocknee, Steinhatchee, Kissimmee, Cherokee (not a Cherokee word, we are actually Yunwiya). Even Tallahassee. They're all in the same language family. So, how would they tell each other apart? By location of course, which these names denote. So, what did it mean to be part of the Creek Nation? I called the Creek Nation in OK and they had no idea that there is a reserve here in Whigham GA called The Lower Muskogee Creek Tribe, Tama Creek Tribal Town. Reminds me of Chief Tomochichi's story. But I digress. I would like more information on the North,South,East,West directionality for this sacred circle, and for any location you visit. It is not unheard of for Cherokee to leave a stone at a sacred site. After so many people have left a stone in memory of their visit, they pile up. Each stone is a memory of the person who respected the visit enough to carry it there. When visiting sacred sites it is customary to bring sage or sweetgrass to burn and bless the area and yourself before entering. This appeases the Spirits and cleanses your soul for the visit. Peace to you and yours, I appreciate the video. P.S. The old ways are still remembered by many of us Traditionals. Maybe you could reach out to some and bring them into your video? ;) Wado
Would love to!! And I honestly had never heard of Tama Creek Tribal Town myself, but it sounds like a place that would be important and special to visit
Really beautiful but I didn’t think there was that much empty land here in Georgia. Seeing the Flint that wide is cool. It starts on the Atlanta Airport and runs underneath. Great video keep them coming.
I use long-leaf pine needles in basket making. I really enjoyed learning a bit about the over harvesting of the trees themselves. I hope they will be allowed to grow now.
You are so amazing. The knowledge you have. Robert you make it so interesting. I never yous to like history. I want to keep watching. Thank you. For what you do.
It will be exciting to see what Dan has to say when he goes to the site with you. He is such a wealth of knowledge and you absorb it all like a sponge.
That part of Georgia reminds me so much of N.E. OKLAHOMA: rocky, Native History, European settlers. My gg grandparents: He was German from Indiana and she was 1/2 Shawnee and Quebec French from Kansas.
Some of the Muscogee Creek went to Florida and joined with the Seminole. One being Chief Osceola ( Asi-yahola)in Creek . His Mother was Polly Coppinger and his father was William Powell, His father was James Powell , My 4th GreatGrandfather James Powell,
In the 60s and earlier The Seminole in the glades. Lived on flat decks homes with palm roofs. About 5ft off the water.. Their handmade canoes were attached. They had blanket s a place for fire pit.. And tv sets with Antenna protruding from roofs. They wore beautiful colorful shirts and dresses. They would sell items along the trail
Love how Beautiful the rolling hills are with long pine needle trees❤🌿❤️ I was born into military family in jackson, Mississippi. We moved around quite a bit up and down east coast from key west up to Massachusetts. Loved in Jonesboro for a time and after that up to Mass. graduated HS and came back to Georgia!! A very diverse state!! And fell in love with it!!❤went to college in Cuthbert near Providence Canyons, then to Warner Robins & now Athens all since 1982. Thank you for sharing South Georgia and info about The Creeks- definitely have to read more about their Nation!! Love going to Cherokee near Great Smoky Mountain❤
What a great tour! History Creek and Cherokee, the southern Native American tribes are often overlooked in the national history. One question, the Cherokee Medicine Woman was also highly regarded by rhe Creek so therefore buried in the altar? You say Cherokee there. Visuals as you point out all of the land signs, amazing area and skills. You must be able to see for miles. I assume that this area is public land, Georgia would be managing the it and the longleaf burn off? The Flint river is beautiful. This is just the best ever, all elements of what you do, and do best, outstanding. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/
I’m not sure what you’re asking about Cherokee or if I misspoke. But yes, there is a Cherokee Medicine Woman alleged to be buried under the ruins of the alleged alter. She was allegedly captured by the Creek but held in high regard as a Medicine Woman and buried under their Alter. And as for the land, well it’s a mixture of state and private land -
Ok. I understand now - yes, when I said she was held in such high regard by the Cherokee I meant to say Creek. Although I’m sure she was held in high regard by both, but that is why she is rumored to be buried under the Creek alter is that she was held in high regard by these Creek people
@@AdventuresIntoHistoryAll tribes respected each others medicine people and elders. So I get that is why the Creek buried her there. I knew meant the Creek too.
At the 12:50ish point, I heard that too. If you hadn't shown how far out you were, I would just think it was the wind carrying sound from a town but not sure what that was ha ha. That is an amazing landscape out there. Yeah, I would love to somehow see what areas looked like hundreds of years ago.
@@bijoulille8816 It probably was. It's hard for us to tell on our end. Robert would have had an easier time to judge but as you can tell it took him off guard ha ha.
@@bijoulille8816 LOL definitely. I remember the first time I heard tree limbs rub against each other. For some reason the squeak startled me. The first time I heard a panther in the woods I live in. That legit scared me because I had no idea panthers are where I live.
I agree. Or at least be able to identify it. Unfortunately- asides from the few who hid after the 1825 removal and 1836 removal - Creek people haven’t lived near in a long time.
This was a fantastic video. I will never get to see these sights in person living in Australia, I have seen so much of your beautiful area and learnt so much by watching your videos. Yourself and Mr Dan are national treasures, thank you for allowing this 64 year old lady to travel with you. Keep up the great work.
The views are magnificent! And I never knew about long-leaf pines (did I get the name right??) - they're standing proud and strong. They look almost magical. Thank you for taking us to this gorgeous place and giving us such an informative teaching about it. The fact that seeing a rocky land means there wasn't farming going on is news to me. So interesting! You have such a knack for identifying and sharing details that are so incredible. The burial site is impressive. Love the history you shared of it. The Creek Indians put tender loving care into building the site for their respected medicine woman. I'd love to know what was in the center of the stone wall, and why the wall was built. Maybe I'll Google it and see what I come up with. Probably nothing, but who knows. Thank you for faithfully making your videos over the years. I love your work. You're an amazing historian. You have respect, passion for what you teach, and will fearlessly brave the rough roads so we can get the most out of what you want to teach. Outstanding!
The Creek Confederation is exactly that...survivors of many nations that came together after European disease wiped out as much as 90% of their populations at around 1600. There were some of the most advanced native cultures in America found in GA. I recommend you contact Richard Thornton / Americas Revealed. He is perhaps THE leading authority of all things Creek / GA Native history. He has uncovered some amazing history that had been hidden or twisted for many years. I would love to hear his take on this site. Rob in Loganville
Hello Robert I enjoyed this video thoroughly it was very interesting because my late grandmother was Native American Indian sites were very beautiful take care love from upstate New York❤😊
That landscape is so incredibly beautiful and the color of that soil is amazing. Imagine camping for a few nights out there? Thank you for everything 🌄🔥
Up in NW ga where I live there are all kinds of Indian sites I’ve found small mounds while deer hunting we have the two rivers that make the big Coosa river the etowha and oostanala which meet in downtown and make the coosa river and the museums that have artifacts of there lives in this area too
This was completely awesome! Thank you for showing this to us. Breathtaking! You're such a good animal daddy, lucky Annie didn't have to miss out on jumping into the spring ❤❤❤ Kitty kisses to Cat!❤
You did a great job with this video! Very exciting to get to spend some time considering the local Creek history that, as you pointed out, we just do not get to observe very often. Feels like more forgotten history being brought to life, something you are so very good at. Felt like I was right there with you! A+ (And shoutout to Annie Dog who always brings that happy, positive energy with her!)
Hello Mr Robert, I enjoyed this very much. I have cousins on my daddy’s side whose mother was full Creek. I have always found that fascinating. I don’t know much about them but this did give me a good deal of insight. Thank you for going there and risking getting stuck to bring us this information 🤗❤
If this is real and true, then absolutely amazing history here! So much of the time people mislead about old Native American sites (especially in the south!) - but I think this is the real deal. We’ll be returning with Dan soon….

Interesting area. There is a book that talks about the ancient people of America. The Book of Mormon. Has lots info about who and when people came to America and where they are buried in big mounds

Each stone is a memory of the person who respected the visit enough to carry it there. When visiting sacred sites it is customary to bring sage or sweetgrass to burn and bless the area and yourself before entering. This appeases the Spirits and cleanses your soul for the visit. Peace to you and yours, I appreciate the video. P.S. The old ways are still remembered by many of us Traditionals. Maybe you could reach out to some and bring them into your video? ;) Wado
Would love to!! And I honestly had never heard of Tama Creek Tribal Town myself, but it sounds like a place that would be important and special to visit
Really beautiful but I didn’t think there was that much empty land here in Georgia. Seeing the Flint that wide is cool. It starts on the Atlanta Airport and runs underneath. Great video keep them coming.
I use long-leaf pine needles in basket making. I really enjoyed learning a bit about the over harvesting of the trees themselves. I hope they will be allowed to grow now.
@@QuakerLady Don't understand why they are trying to do a mono culture?
Top you te video Robert te natuur te history 😢🌤🙏🌾🌿
Amazing place Robert. Seeing places like this makes my city life bearable.
This has to be the finest production of all on this channel. A real documentary. Very moving. Thank you.
Remarkable video. Thank you so much. Be careful. Be safe.
Thank you! Will do!
Thank you. That was very interesting and beautiful.
Beautiful Robert!
I could see the path of the rock wall very clearly! Thanks!😊
You are so amazing. The knowledge you have. Robert you make it so interesting. I never yous to like history. I want to keep watching. Thank you. For what you do.
Such an interesting story and history!
That river literally took my breath away!! Beautiful!
It will be exciting to see what Dan has to say when he goes to the site with you. He is such a wealth of knowledge and you absorb it all like a sponge.
That part of Georgia reminds me so much of N.E. OKLAHOMA: rocky, Native History, European settlers. My gg grandparents: He was German from Indiana and she was 1/2 Shawnee and Quebec French from Kansas.
Amazing. Between you & Dan everyone is learning & appreciating so much history. So a huge THANK-YOU ❤❤
What a fantastic show! My husband is into native folklore so I shared with him & friends.
Some of the Muscogee Creek went to Florida and joined with the Seminole. One being Chief Osceola ( Asi-yahola)in Creek . His Mother was Polly Coppinger and his father was William Powell, His father was James Powell , My 4th GreatGrandfather James Powell,
This is what i came here to say about the Seminole Nation. Thanks
In the 60s and earlier
The Seminole in the glades.
Lived on flat decks homes with palm roofs.
About 5ft off the water..
Their handmade canoes were attached.
They had blanket s a place for fire pit..
And tv sets with
Antenna protruding from roofs.
They wore beautiful colorful shirts and dresses.
They would sell items along the trail
Seminole were brought to Florida per Flagler as he shipped the last of Timacuan to Cuba.
Seminole! "To break away" they have never signed a treaty with the US.
Robert, excellent! 👌
Love how Beautiful the rolling hills are with long pine needle trees❤🌿❤️ I was born into military family in jackson, Mississippi. We moved around quite a bit up and down east coast from key west up to Massachusetts. Loved in Jonesboro for a time and after that up to Mass. graduated HS and came back to Georgia!! A very diverse state!! And fell in love with it!!❤went to college in Cuthbert near Providence Canyons, then to Warner Robins & now Athens all since 1982. Thank you for sharing South Georgia and info about The Creeks- definitely have to read more about their Nation!! Love going to Cherokee near Great Smoky Mountain❤
What a great tour! History Creek and Cherokee, the southern Native American tribes are often overlooked in the national history. One question, the Cherokee Medicine Woman was also highly regarded by rhe Creek so therefore buried in the altar? You say Cherokee there. Visuals as you point out all of the land signs, amazing area and skills. You must be able to see for miles. I assume that this area is public land, Georgia would be managing the it and the longleaf burn off? The Flint river is beautiful. This is just the best ever, all elements of what you do, and do best, outstanding. 👍👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/
I’m not sure what you’re asking about Cherokee or if I misspoke. But yes, there is a Cherokee Medicine Woman alleged to be buried under the ruins of the alleged alter. She was allegedly captured by the Creek but held in high regard as a Medicine Woman and buried under their Alter. And as for the land, well it’s a mixture of state and private land -
Ok. I understand now - yes, when I said she was held in such high regard by the Cherokee I meant to say Creek. Although I’m sure she was held in high regard by both, but that is why she is rumored to be buried under the Creek alter is that she was held in high regard by these Creek people
@@AdventuresIntoHistoryAll tribes respected each others medicine people and elders. So I get that is why the Creek buried her there. I knew meant the Creek too.
Very beautiful river. And to learn all that history! Amazing.
At the 12:50ish point, I heard that too. If you hadn't shown how far out you were, I would just think it was the wind carrying sound from a town but not sure what that was ha ha. That is an amazing landscape out there. Yeah, I would love to somehow see what areas looked like hundreds of years ago.
What the heck was that?? That part was freaky, I got actual goosebumps 😳 It was just a bird, right? 😳
@@bijoulille8816 It probably was. It's hard for us to tell on our end. Robert would have had an easier time to judge but as you can tell it took him off guard ha ha.
@@marcbrunson6986 He seemed legit startled by it! 😳
@@bijoulille8816 LOL definitely. I remember the first time I heard tree limbs rub against each other. For some reason the squeak startled me. The first time I heard a panther in the woods I live in. That legit scared me because I had no idea panthers are where I live.
I heard the bird like whistling sound, but just before that I heard a much deeper sound, almost like a voice. 👀
Such a sacred site!!!! Very beautiful and so serene!!!!
I love when you wear your hat!! Thanku for the video, I love history!!
Thanks for watching!
Would love a shirt like that for my son if you could share where you purchased it. :)
Really enjoyed. Thanks so much.
Thank you for this beautiful trip...
You would be a great History teacher.To me you are quite knowledgeable.
Some very beautiful topography there in Georgia....thanks for the exploration.
A wonderful tour, and done so respectfully. Thank you Robert.
What you need is to find a few Creek elders...they would have info on this area i bet...interesting...and beautiful...
I agree. Or at least be able to identify it. Unfortunately- asides from the few who hid after the 1825 removal and 1836 removal - Creek people haven’t lived near in a long time.
Gotta be someone who knows the oral story...
There is a Creek tribe in Alabama,, I believe they might be able to share some history with who ever is interested. They are federal recognized tribe.
Out west, is known as the Indian nation present day Oklahoma.
@@oklahomafreedom5536 honestly did not know that! Thanks I’ll look them up - I thought the Creek Nation was solely out west.
An amazing view, and the magical silence that you can only hear the water... how peaceful and calm, it's heaven to me😌
This was a fantastic video. I will never get to see these sights in person living in Australia, I have seen so much of your beautiful area and learnt so much by watching your videos. Yourself and Mr Dan are national treasures, thank you for allowing this 64 year old lady to travel with you. Keep up the great work.
That is an amazing place. Thank you for sharing that place.
Amazing video
I enjoy all your videos! Very informative!!!
Great video! Love the history and the scenery.. I only wish you would've taken us to see the rock wall, around the property. Ty..
Thank you for sharing your love of History with us all and History is an Adventure all its own
Such a very beautiful place and sucloted. Thank you for sharing with us 😊
Amazing landscape all around I'm sure the Natives were touched by her beauty 🤠🛶🏹
The views are magnificent! And I never knew about long-leaf pines (did I get the name right??) - they're standing proud and strong. They look almost magical.
Thank you for taking us to this gorgeous place and giving us such an informative teaching about it. The fact that seeing a rocky land means there wasn't farming going on is news to me. So interesting! You have such a knack for identifying and sharing details that are so incredible.
The burial site is impressive. Love the history you shared of it. The Creek Indians put tender loving care into building the site for their respected medicine woman. I'd love to know what was in the center of the stone wall, and why the wall was built. Maybe I'll Google it and see what I come up with. Probably nothing, but who knows.
Thank you for faithfully making your videos over the years. I love your work. You're an amazing historian. You have respect, passion for what you teach, and will fearlessly brave the rough roads so we can get the most out of what you want to teach. Outstanding!
The Creek Confederation is exactly that...survivors of many nations that came together after European disease wiped out as much as 90% of their populations at around 1600. There were some of the most advanced native cultures in America found in GA. I recommend you contact Richard Thornton / Americas Revealed. He is perhaps THE leading authority of all things Creek / GA Native history. He has uncovered some amazing history that had been hidden or twisted for many years. I would love to hear his take on this site. Rob in Loganville
Hello Robert I enjoyed this video thoroughly it was very interesting because my late grandmother was Native American Indian sites were very beautiful take care love from upstate New York❤😊
This exploration was very interesting. Thank you. Can hardly wait for you to go back and mark the possible grave.
😊❤ great information
Wow! What a great adventure. I love the view. Nice truck!~ Now we need to see more about the history and some cemeteries near the Flint River..
Thank you so much for searching the creek lands. My Grandmother’s realities thank you
My great grandparents came through the Trail of Tears , my great grandmother married a Irises man very southern part of Illinois
Amazing place!
Absolutely awesome find!
That landscape is so incredibly beautiful and the color of that soil is amazing. Imagine camping for a few nights out there? Thank you for everything 🌄🔥
Such beautiful scenery Thankyou for sharing looking forward to you returning to have another look 🇬🇧
Up in NW ga where I live there are all kinds of Indian sites I’ve found small mounds while deer hunting we have the two rivers that make the big Coosa river the etowha and oostanala which meet in downtown and make the coosa river and the museums that have artifacts of there lives in this area too
This was my favorite adventure. Nice coverage and beautiful scenery.
This was completely awesome! Thank you for showing this to us. Breathtaking! You're such a good animal daddy, lucky Annie didn't have to miss out on jumping into the spring ❤❤❤ Kitty kisses to Cat!❤
You did a great job with this video! Very exciting to get to spend some time considering the local Creek history that, as you pointed out, we just do not get to observe very often. Feels like more forgotten history being brought to life, something you are so very good at. Felt like I was right there with you! A+ (And shoutout to Annie Dog who always brings that happy, positive energy with her!)
Well narrated Robert . One of the most intriguing and interesting videos imo ,I look forward to your return with Dan .
Thank God for so many rocks! Otherwise we know what would have happen to this beautiful sacred place. Thank you for sharing with us. Take care.
Thank you for bringing us this and many other historic sites. Love watching you do all this. Stay safe n keep doing you ❤
Hello Mr Robert, I enjoyed this very much. I have cousins on my daddy’s side whose mother was full Creek. I have always found that fascinating. I don’t know much about them but this did give me a good deal of insight. Thank you for going there and risking getting stuck to bring us this information 🤗❤
