Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma is a federally recognized Native American tribe based in the state of Oklahoma. The tribe's history dates back to the early 19th century when the Creek people were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in the southeastern United States and relocated to Indian Territory, present-day Oklahoma. The Muscogee (Creek) Nation has a rich cultural heritage and is governed by a constitution that was adopted in 1979, which established a democratic form of government with an elected Principal Chief and National Council. The tribe focuses on preserving its cultural identity, promoting economic development, and providing services to its members, including education, health care, and housing assistance.
