Creek in the East since Removal
Handbook of North American Indians. Southeast • 14 • Published In 2004 • Pages: 404-406
By: Paredes, J. Anthony (James Anthony).
AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Paredes describes the fate of those Creeks who chose to remain in the East following the removal of the major part of the tribe to Oklahoma during the period of 1836 to the mid-1840s. The author notes that by the end of the nineteenth century most of the Creek descendants remaining in the East had become assimilated into the surrounding non-Indian population, with the exception of one group who survived as a distinct, locally acknowledged Indian community near Poarch, Alabama. This study describes the land claims of this community made against the U.S. government and their attempt to receive federal recognition as a distinct tribe.
