Europeans met the Creeks. They began "trading" and doing "business". Many Creeks adopted European ways and owned African Workers. Those African workers worked for and bred (had babies)with Creek natives. Those African workers walked the Trail of Tears with Creek Natives. Those Africans relocated and lived in "Indian Territory" and on Indian reservations with Creek Natives. Suddenly, money gets involved and the Natives forget who the African Workers are. In the end, The European gets the land, the money, and rightfully gets to claim ownership. The Africans are kicked out and the Natives cling desperately to uphold the European way hoping to keep what he hasn't yet taken from them. The Africans once again, are alienated. Natives and Europeans who engage in these politics willingly are upholders of racism and white supremacy...particularly with 'blood quantum' and citizenship.

Much respect to the man at the end. He seems the most in touch with his ancestors and unbiased. You can’t say that the “Freedmen” can’t use a treaty that was signed by both the US and Creek governments as proof of citizenship, and then base their heritage from Rolls created by the US government but claim sovereignty rights. It’s biased and unfair. Creek is a government like the US is a government. It is not necessarily a race. These people’s ancestors were citizens of that government for hundreds of years. To deny them is wrong and racist, because there seems to be no bias towards people who are 75% European who are citizens, per their ‘quarter by blood’ rule.

2016stormy stfu my family are on the Dawes rolls as creek freedmen! Freedmen are coppered colored aboriginal indians and what ever you say out your mouth or what you type will never change the fact that lighter native Americans were simply saving the darker native Americans it had nothing to do with them being actual slaves because they were fully clothed with their own land knew how to read and write and lived the same just as the lighter skinned Indians did and most darker skinned natives owned “slave” ... but it’s was actually the natives saving family members that were captured because of the slave trade happed the way it did then my native freedmen family wouldn’t be all together living in the same space and they would have been spread out. So stop trolling and go and get you some business please and stop denying my ancestors they true aboriginal identity! It makes no sense if they were really Africans they would not try so hard to be native indians but they were freedmen so wouldn’t they have the right to express they’re African roots if they had any? And a lot of evidence proves that the so called African Americans are actually Native American Indians and not descendent of Africans ... African know nothing of a slave trade to America ever happening until they get over here and get taught it in schools or by brainwashed blacks that tries to still all the cultures and tribes of the people on the continent of Africa! The people on the continent of Africa want nothing to do with us because they know we are not the same people. So called “African Americans” don’t mix with the people from the continent of Africa. So you sir or man can just stop with your school taught lies our people are starting to wake up as to what is rightfully theirs and their rightful place into our tribes here in America ... you better do your research ... the oldest bones found in the America’s are “negroid”. There is actual diaries of European settlers coming to the America’s before Columbus researching the ways of the people in the tribes and how free they were and how all different hair textures they had and how dark their skin were he said they looked like they were Ethiopians. All the Europeans know the truth that’s why they fear us and are so uncomfortable when they are around us. We are the only people that classification changed numerous times!!!!

The chief at the time refused to learn the white mans tounge. So My gr gr grandfather was a key instrument into bartering and pleaing on the behalf of all creeks to be included in the 1866 treaty. From 1866 to 1979 blacks and former slaves of creek were a part of the nation per the treaty we, creeks, signed with the us government for EVERYTHING creeks have today. Then for some reason. CREEKS decided that they were going to place value in blood, like the whites like willie lynch, and decided to disenroll thousands of people who were "freedmen" .

He was absolutely right about the tribal government. The Creeks always had a bicameral form of government. This tradition goes back long before the arrival of Spanish invaders. As for the Freedmen situation, I have two thoughts, First the Creeks in their homeland in Georgia had no concept of race, only nationality. The High King back in the late 1500s and 1600s, invited people from Europe to settle in their lands, with the provision that they marry a Native wife or husband. Then in 1776, my gggg-grandfather Mikko Talassee Corn invited white families of good character to settle in our towns, but encouraged their offspring to intermarry with the Creeks. This was to keep British Redcoats and American Patriots from attack Creek towns and farms. The mixed-blood children were taller, stronger and healthier than either of their parents. They survived European plagues much better than the fullblood Natives, The end result was a hybrid people. Your so-called pure bloods in Oklahoma are not full-blooded American Indians. Many Freedmen have more Native American DNA in them that the majority of officials within the MCN bureaucracy.

I'm Chahta from the beginning 1836 my lands and we was NEVER slaves man y'all stole my identity and lands

[@louisesmithkerr]

I am disheartened by my Creek relatives (blood is blood, right?) who cling to The Territory/Nation and hide behind the Creek name, kicking out even their own flesh and blood because an ancestor was made to sign and was falsely classified by a Roll. (MVSKOKE FREEDMEN WERE NOT ALL SLAVES! THEY WERE DARKER-SKINNED "INDIANS", AND EVEN THOSE WHO WERE SLAVES SHOULD HAVE THEIR DESCENDANTS GRANTED CITIZENSHIP!) Thankfully, we also have descendants of Creek ancestors who to this day remain in "The Old Country" (ALABAMA/GA). TO THOSE SEEKING TO PRESERVE OUR ANCESTRIAL MOUNDS, MVTO!!!

I like the third guy who spoke

[@charlieharjo5268]

The first 2 are correct though.

[@boxingwiththedon7401]

Charlie Harjo no not necessarily.

[@boxingwiththedon7401]

He’s right about the us not abiding by the treaties, but that the freedman are and always have been indigenous Americans. You can’t become a citizen if you don’t have some actual proof of ancestry and they obviously do. So if your gonna speak, speak truth!

[@boxingwiththedon7401]

@carolstormy you sound ridiculous, they wouldn’t be considered freedman if they couldn’t prove it. Stop with the foolish ignorance.

They are pale faces

[@blindmice3536]

2016stormy you have a lot of nerve calling someone else a racist

[@BlindMice-wq9zq]

I know they are Indians . That doesn’t change what I said. You have seen plenty of my comments. When have you ever heard me call an Indian pale face or $5 dollar Indian? I have seen plenty of your comments saying racist things about black people in generalized statements. Saying people are going to hell . Never acknowledge the discrimination of the Indians. Don’t add things to my narrative
