THE TAWASA AND PAWOKTI The first reference to the Tawasa is by Ranjel and the Fidalgo of Elvas. Tawasa is mentioned as one of the towns at which the De Soto expedition stopped and is placed between Ulibahali (Holiwahali) and Talisi (Tulsa). It is called by Ranjel Tuasi, by Elvas Toasi.5 From this location it is evident that the tribe, or part of it, was at that time among the Upper Creeks, but from Lamhatty's narrative it appears they had moved southeast before 1706 and settled somewhere between Apalachicola and Choctawhatchee Rivers.
