Muklasa
"Muklasa" was the name of a Native American band of Alabama. Their name may have derived from the words for
"tribal people" or "those people there" in one of
the Muskogean languages, and was also the name of their principal village. The Muklasa band joined the Creek Confederacy and
migrated to Florida along with other Creek and Seminole peoples after the Creek Wars. Their language, however, does not appear
to have been Creek. Few records remain of the language spoken by the Muklasa, but they appear to have been speakers of either
the Alabama or Koasati language. Alternate spellings for this tribe in historical documents include
Muklassa, Mukalasha, Mugulasha, Amooklasah, and Mook-lau-sau.
