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.
On May 23 1838, the forced removal of the Cherokee, Muscogee (Creek) Nation, Seminole, Chickasaw, Choctaw and other Native American nations began - a land theft and displacement known as the Trail of Tears. Approximately 60,000 people were displaced of whom up to 6,000 died on the Trail.
