The Hitchiti were an indigenous tribe formerly residing chiefly in a town of the same name on the east bank of the Chattahoochee River 4 miles below Chiaha in western present-day Georgia. They spoke the Hitchiti language which was part of the Muskogean language family; it is considered a dialect of the Mikasuki language with which it was mutually intelligible. The Hitchiti and the Mikasuki tribes were both part of the loose Creek confederacy.
