 In the 1660s the well-armed Westo attacked La Tama and neighboring regions, dispersing the La Tama in several directions.Some migrated to the lower Chattahoochee River towns of Coweta and Cussita, the Apalachee mission provinces, and the Guale province.The La Tama spoke a dialect of "Hitchiti", a Muskogean language, as did the Coweta, Cussita, and Apalachicola.
