Selocta Chinnabby

Selocta Chinnabee (c. 1795—February 10, 1835[2][3]) was a Muscogee and Natchez chief from present-day Talladega County, Alabama.

[10] Prior to the Battle of Emuckfaw Creek, Chinnabby led warriors allied with the United States in an attack on a Hillabee village.

Jackson did not agree with this arrangement, as he felt this allowed Great Britain a connection to supply inland Native Americans in their continued conflicts with the United States.

[2] Chinnabby also controlled bands of Cherokee,[13] who called him Apuckshunubee, as well as Chickasaw that had previously been under the rule of his brother, Taski Etoka.

[17] The Lake Chinnabee Recreation Area, located inside the Talladega National Forest, is named for Chinnabby.

The recreation area includes the Chinnabee Silent Trail, which was constructed by a Boy Scout troop from the Alabama Institute for the Deaf and Blind.
