History

The story of the Creek Freedmen spans centuries, from the early interactions between African Americans and Native American tribes to the present-day fight for tribal recognition.

Pre-Removal Era: African Americans lived among the Creek Nation as both free individuals and enslaved people. Intermarriage and cultural blending were common.

Removal & Trail of Tears: In the 1830s, the Creek Nation, along with its enslaved population, was forcibly relocated to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).

Post-Civil War & Treaty of 1866: The U.S. government required the Creek Nation to emancipate their slaves and grant them full tribal citizenship.

Dawes Rolls (1898-1914): Freedmen were recorded separately from “Creek by Blood” citizens, a classification that would later be used to deny their descendants tribal membership.

Modern Struggles: Throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, Creek Freedmen have fought to reclaim their place within the Muscogee Nation.
