Foke-Luste-Hajo (also transcribed as Fucta-Luste-Hajo), or "Black Dirt", was a chief of the Seminole settlement of Chocochatti (sometimes transcribed as Chicuchatty) during the time period of the Second Seminole War. He was a vocal proponent of the Treaty of Payne's Landing of 1832, and a supporter of Seminole relocation to the Oklahoma reservation. He was once the principal war chief of the Seminoles, however his friendliness towards the United States and advocation for the removal of the Seminoles from Florida led to him being superseded by Holato Mico.

Early Life
There is little existing written information pertaining to Foke-Luste-Hajo's life prior to his involvement in the Second Seminole War. Primary sources written during the Second Seminole War describe him as a "veteran" chief at the time of the meeting of Payne's Landing, and as one of the "principal" Florida Seminole chiefs. Some sources also describe him having a wife and daughter, however they are unnamed and it is uncertain when exactly Hajo and his wife married, or whether the marriage was commemorated in Indigenous or Christian tradition. It is possible that he was among the native forces friendly to the United States during the Creek War, and there exists a United States Service Index record of "Fuste Luste Haujo" serving in the Creek Indian Regiment organized by Benjamin Hawkins and led by chief William McIntosh. Considering his description as a "firm friend" of the United States, and also as a veteran war chief, it may be possible he was already chief of Chocochatti by the time of the Creek War of 1813, thus garnering his reputation amongst American observers as a "firm friend" of the United States.

Chief of Chocochatti during the Second Seminole War
Just prior to the beginning of the Second Seminole War, Hajo was one of the Seminole chiefs that met with the American diplomat James Gadsden at Payne's Landing in order to draft a treaty that would serve as an outline for the removal of the Seminole Indians to the Creek Reservation in Oklahoma, and his signature can be found on the original document (spelled here as "Fuch-ta-lus-ta-Hadjo"). 3 years after, in 1835, when the majority of Seminole Chiefs had dismissed the treaty as either forgery or invalid, General Wiley Thompson hosted another council for the Seminole Chiefs, and here Foke-Luste-Hajo "...denounced all who opposed the execution of the treaty." Although there were a few Seminole chiefs who shared Hajo's pro-removal sentiment, it became quite clear that the Seminole Chiefs were overwhelmingly in favor of resisting attempts made by the United States to dislocate them from their land. Hajo, along with several other pro-removal chiefs, retreated to Fort Brooke on November the 9th, "...with about four hundred and fifty of their people", before they "...returned their cattle, ponies, and hogs, [the agent] publicy announced that a sale would take place on the first of the ensuing month, December, 1835". However, this public sale was indefinitely postponed, "in consequence of the interference of the anti-removal party", this likely being a direct reference to the killing of Charley Emathla by Osceola later in the same month of November 1835. Foke-Luste-Hajo remained near Fort Brooke for some indefinite period of time afterwards, working to end the conflict peacefully.

Post-Removal and Death
At some unspecified time in 1836, Hajo removed to the Oklahoma reservation, and it was during these travels that his unnamed wife and daughter both passed away. He settled somewhere along the Little River, southwest of Fort Gibson. Hajo disappears from historical records after this point, and it can be assumed that he passed away on the Oklahoma Creek Reservation sometime after 1836.
