What Became Of America's Freedmen's Towns? (In The Loop)

[@CoushattaRan]

My Great Grandmother and her father, my Great Great Grandfather lived in Canadian Colored Town, I.T. (Indian Territory) in Creek Territory which was one of the ordinal black towns in Indian Territory (oklahoma) during the mid "1800's". I wish I could find something, anything on the township of "Canadian Colored Town". I found the information within their Dawes Rolls Packets (Dawes Rolls Commission Interviews)

Same here!!!

Here in California, we had Allensworth, which was a Freedmen’s town in Central Valley founded, funded and governed by Black Americans. Today, Allensworth is a State Historic Park.

Grew up in Tulsa didn't find out about freedmen till a couple years ago , found out black folks here have a strong tie to the tribes whether they were by treaty or by blood . Can't say that about a lot of America but here they actually might be . As a cwy citizen we have to prove our heritage by blood . But culture is free

Well when it comes to tulsa oklahoma, I did lot's of studying, and originally the town was founded by a native American tribe called the Creek it was a thriving community of natives till after the Civil War, and the US military massacred the whole tribe, sent the children to native American boarding schools, and then it became a black founded town but another massacre happened, but they didn't take out the whole town and everyone in it like they did the natives, more research and buffalo soldiers were part of it, just like Wounded Knee another massacre, these towns for the most part are built on stolen lands, and over them erasing that they even existed, some property is covering grave sites of this historical event, and it will never be talked about besides with other natives, because we never matter to anyone.

Interesting can you share info on the native massacre? Black americans should be building towns with a permanent charter treaty from the Osage natives of Oklahoma or black native governed tribes and not the creek or cherokee that are not from Oklahoma

[@Civilwar.relics]

@@BrooklynNYC777 Osage Indians, and The Creek Indians built the first permanent settlements in the Tulsa area in the late 1830s. Settlements dotted the Creek Nation after they arrived in the area with other tribes on the Trail of Tears. The Cherokee is included, and the By the early 1800s, the Osage, Pawnee, Kiowa, Comanche, Cheyenne, and Arapaho had also migrated into the region, The first significant settlements in Tulsa and the surrounding area were made by the Creek and Cherokee Tribes in 1836. The Creeks and Cherokees, along with the Seminoles, Choctaws and Chickasaws (known collectively as the Five Civilized Tribes) were forced to migrate west during the Indian removal of the 1830s. The Creeks, who settled the area in and around Tulsa, were part of the Lochapokas Band of the Creek Indian Tribe, who had made their home in Alabama prior to the Indian removal.The Indian Wars of the 1870s produced "reservations" in the Oklahoma Tulsa the Creek a simple Google search will show that, and that is the time of the buffalo soldiers that were at Wounded Knee and at 171 so called battles like it, and dressed in our life source as a joke and probably to make Sherman happy because they were following his orders with the massacres after the Civil War, abd to quote Sherman tecumseh who doesn't deserve the name of the great Shawnee warrior chief Sherman said every dead buffalo means a starved Indian and paid for the removal of a spiritual animal the buffalo soldiers are so sick they dance around in the skin, furthermore region for Plains tribes such as the Comanche, Kiowa, Cheyenne, Arapaho, and others. Further western tribes represented here included the Nez Perce and Modoc. In the end, the U.S. government removed a total of sixty-seven different tribes. So that is the truth and the answer to your question, and if you research it you will see this, if you don't you will probably respond with a slur or something because that's common when the truth is told and it doesn't make the person looking for the information a saint, it's like being related to a viking a horrible job not a whole country, maybe a comparison might help idk

As long as you stay away from the reparations conversation, that’s fine. You already got your reparations from the government so go speak to the other natives, and ask now.

We need more stories like this. Especially since there's an assault on transparent American history "Critical Race Theory".

We are NOT African American nor are we BLACK we are copper colored brown. We are American Indians.

[@CROX1153]

True!

[@melanoticlife9882]

Not me wondering what true Native American calls themself an Indian?

[@gillmsnfillman1691]

Than you do not deserve reparations. Reparations are for the descendants of African slaves in the United States. Move along

I moved here to Northeast Oklahoma in 87 from California. Obviously it's a lot different with a little bitty town. Love love Cherokee people here lot of good friends. There's only been a few black families here. Unfortunately they have no history so they had no reason to come and there's not much jobs account history goes back to racist morons.. I tula Where my husband grew up is different. Thankfully we raised our kids not to be racist and they're not they everybody
