The Natchez Nation, pronounced Nah-chee, is a precursor and confederator of the original Muscogee (Creek) Confederacy. W'NvhX'Ce means "fast warrior(s)" in the Natchez Language. Prior to the arrival of northern europeans, and in non-Native terms in prehistoric times, Natchez Nation stretched from what is now North Carolina to Eastern Oklahoma; from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico.

The traditional government of the ancient nation remains strong and active today; is a treaty tribe of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation; has connections and/or official relationships with the Natchez Communities in South Carolina; is a corporation in the Sac & Fox and Seminole Nations; has sent legislation to and worked with the Muscogee National Council; has requested education, health care and other status for all it's tribal citizens; and has sent it's traditional constitution to the Secretary of the Interior for a Federal Charter under the OIWA of 1936.

After initial decimation from European contact by virtue of influenza, smallpox, cholera, chicken pox, war with the French and the like, Natchez Nation was embroiled in separative removals to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma) with 4 of the 5 Civilized Tribes; some say by advance plan. Many Natchez are citizens or eligible for citizenship in these federally recognized nations in addition to their Natchez citizenship.
