Creek Indians file lawsuit, demanding Creek citizenship restored

We need to refrain from putting Africa in our speeches when we speak on indigenous issues. Speak as an indigenous American bottom line

The Creek Nation open its membership to the pale skin. Before segregating Creek Nation was 100 percent melanated skin people. Anyone that disagree with that is lying. Creek Nation has a long strong history connected to the Mayans history which are one in the same. We have always been on these lands and are still here.

My ancestors where on the trail of tears

I am creek indian to I still live at Jackson's Gap .where Andrew Jackson's army killed most of my anstestors.thank you for standing up for our people.

Before you move forward you all need to look further back in time. Creek Nation were Not African Descendants. Johnny Mae Alston told you that her people were NOT AFRICAN. IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO IT FOR GRANDMA. TELL HER TRUTH SON!

Whats sad is, they the real Creeks not those other $5 indians.

Are they black or brown .. brown or copper colored...I think the biggest problem is some people don’t know their colors ... the other is that people think that all these brown people come from Africa... some of y’all need to find out who the creek people are along with the Yuchi , Mayan along with that .. the difference between upper and lower creek then you’ll find out where these darker skinned people actually come from...... smh y’all want to act like indigenous peoples were never enslaved by the other tribes of this country ... here another piece of homework for you find out how many Africans actually made it to North America let alone south east Georgia .... God willing and the creek don’t rise They tried to kill us off ... we’re still here Tried to change our identity....we’re still here We’re taking back our traditions, language, culture ... we’re rising up and there is nothing you can do about it

They never called themselves Africans stop it!!!!

Creeks of African descent? Never heard of that. The muskogee creek were melanated anyway. They should have corrected the lawyer.

I have creek heritage in my blood. Started from Alabama, then traveled to Jefferson, cass county, Texas, then to Muskogee county Oklahoma. Anyone story alike mine?

Why does he keep saying of African decent?

I am Of Creek nation. My family has land in Alabama. My family were identified as black. I want my true nationality restored. What can I do?

We are not Indians or africans, we are indigenous stop defining yourself by the colonizers definitions

this knowledge is very important and needs to be spread.

How is this lawsuit going now?

I am so happy for your success. I hope we can all discover who we are. The Creek Nation is beautiful...I'm grateful to know you all.💜💜💜
