As for civilized tribes, this is what http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Civilized_Tribes had to say:
The Five Civilized Tribes were the five Native American nations: the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, and Seminole, which were considered civilized by white settlers during that time period because they adopted many of the colonists' customs and had generally good relations with their neighbors.
