The basement of my building has a collection of (49 so far) license plates.
I replaced the #Oklahoma one with a #MuscogeeNation license plate.

Muscogee Nation Supreme Court rules Freedmen descendants entitled to tribal citizenship
The Muscogee Nation Supreme Court has ruled in favor of two descendants of former slaves held by the tribe. The court found Wednesday that when the Muscogee Nation’s citizenship board denied them membership, it violated an 1866 treaty granting citizenship to former slaves once held by the tribe. The Muscogee Nation is one of five tribes in Oklahoma that once practiced slavery. In that 1866 treaty with the U.S. government, the tribe both abolished it and granted citizenship to the formerly enslaved.

Approximately 60,000 people were displaced of whom up to 6,000 died on the Trail.

Yehuda TurtleIsland.buzzMy great-Grandfather Pleasant Luther "Duke" Berryhill.
He was Roll #117 and lived through the Dawes Commission, Tribal land allotment theft and Oklahoma statehood.
Duke was Captain of the Lighthorse & active in the #MuscogeeNation Gov't in Indian Territory. He was known as extremely good sharpshooter.
