Creek Freedmen were wrongly kicked out of the Muscogee Creek Nation in 1979, a tribe they had been citizens of since 1866, simply because their ancestors were Black Creeks and were placed on the Creek Roll by the federal employees in the Dawes Commission. @MCIFB1866Treaty

This grave injustice must be rectified and Creek Freedmen need their full rights restored within their Nation. They were promised equal citizenship and economic rights in the Treaty of 1866. Most of their ancestors were enslaved by tribal members and forced into the tribe through

enslavement. It’s wrong to now kick them out of their own tribe years later because of greed and anti-Blackness. This would be like descendants of American slaves being disenrolled as American citizens simply because their ancestors were Black and enslaved.

Please sign the Creek Freedmen petition to demand justice for Creek Freedmen, who were wrongly dis-enrolled from their tribe: change.org/p/justice-for-…
