Known as "Black Dirt" or "Black Craggy Clay." Although Foke-Luste-Hajo
was described as a man always ready for a fight, he and six other chiefs
were forced to sign the treaty of Payne's Landing in which Seminole lands
were given up in return for territory across the Mississippi River. When
the tribal council pronounced his death sentence, he fled to Fort Brooke
where he remained throughout the war.
