This may help to strengthen the nation. May God bless them
I am one of the descendants. My third great-grandmother was a Creek Freedman. Her name was Phillis Hawkins Fife and she was born in Kentucky in 1863. She had two children with her slave owner the son of. an Irishman, William Fife. Somehow Phillis ended up being owned by the Creek and eventually returned to Kentucky and died in 1911. My mother remembers her son who was her grandfather, John Fife.
They have to prove on the roll Dawes that they are muscogee creek native. That’s the native Law by blood!
No they don’t. Records were kept that prove it through ancestry. They documented everything 😂
Follow the Treaties. Honor the Ancestors. People were involuntary brought into the tribes and contributed to the land and tribal nation, descendants are simply honoring what is due to them which is full citizenship in the respective nations their ancestors thanklessly helped thrive. Its called integrity, its called morality, its called traditional indigenous values. Honor the Treaties which strengthens Tribal Sovereignty.
@michaelmawazo Blacks were Creek slaves 4 just 33 yrs, not 244 yrs like slaves 4 whites were. N those 33 yrs, blacks didn't do that much 4 Creeks. Whites grumbled a lot that Indian masters let their slaves slack a lot. Slaves of Creeks were treated better than slaves of whites & every man woman, child & newborn got 160 acres of Indian land 4 reparations. Freedmen stop grumbling
@@stormy-le6pb Your opinion is ignorant and irrelevant. Thanks though.
@@michaelmawazo UR ignorant. It was the gov't who forced Indians 2 make blacks citizens. Indians never wanted that Bcuz UR Nigerian Igboo, Congo & not related at all 2 Indians, UR not family, thats why blacks were kicked out. Freedmen are greedy. UR welcome
@@michaelmawazo Just wanted 2 give little history no one thought about. Freedmen were only slaves 4 just 33 yrs. Such a short time compared 2 whites slaves, 244 yrs. Every Freedmen family, man, woman, child & newborn each got 160 acres of Indian land & compared 2 whites slaves, they got nothing, just a kick N the rear. Indians did a lot more for Freedmen then whites did.
This racial tension at most they live in Oklahoma and what I guess what they think all natives get is help witch we don’t black slaves are attacking native Americans and culture freeman are not Native Americans they where slaves that was set free
The original Natives were black with the exception of the Albino Natives. Stop with the BS. It was throughly documented by the pale faces.
So you mean to say the slave owners didn’t marry or produce children with them? You are delusional if you think not 😂
It says my great great grandfather walked the trail of tears with the Indians is this true because if so my great grandmother his wife is blood 🩸 indian
Yes African slaves did walk the Trail of Tears with Indians. If Ur not enrolled its probabaly Bcuz UR not Indian. Althougn no tribe will take a DNA test, take one anyway & see how much percentage U do have or if U have any at all.
I’m the great grandson of buck franklin Richard Franklin is there any family on here ?
The tribe should drop this and let them in, treaties have always been upheld by the supreme Court ans this is the first time a tribe doesn't want to follow it, if the tribe wins it will weaken treaty rights because if they can only follow some of it, the government can only follow some of it. Lots of interests in the US want treaties to go away
now give the Oklahoma wall street victims their reparations
Indians didn't destroy black Wall Street. White ppl did & they gave 30 million dollars 2 the victims last year. Where U been under a rock? Whites don't even give Indian tribes, no where that much money 4 anything. Whites still owe millions of dollars 2 the Dakota's 4 the Black Hills. Blacks are the most greedy bunch of ppl on this continent. Blacks aren't Indians.
It was rebuilt by black people by 1925, No help from the city or state government.
@Effthefbi 3 survivors of the Tulsa race Massacre Receive $1 Million Donation.The last known living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre received a $1 million donation Wednesday from a philanthropic organization - a substantial sum for the three centenarians more than 100 years after White mobs destroyed their community.
Viola Fletcher, 108, Lessie Benningfield Randle, 107, & “Uncle Red” Ellis, 102, accepted the donation Wednesday afternoon at Greenwood Cultural Center N Tulsa. It was presented by Ed Mitzen, co-founder of New York-based nonprofit Business for Good. Fletcher was 7, when White mobs attacked the Black neighborhood of Greenwood, a thriving business district known as “Black Wall Street.” The massacre killed as many as 300 & displaced more than 10,000 Black ppl. Days after the massacre ended on June 1, 1921, 100's of massacre survivors were rounded up at gunpoint & marched 2 “internment camps,” according 2 survivors’ testimony. No White person was ever arrested or charged.
Mitzen said that he & wife, Lisa, who founded the nonprofit with him, were inspired 2 make the donation after reading about the lawsuit's case 4 repatriation N Washington Post.
Mitzen remember thinking it shouldn't B that hard 2 get some sense of relief 4 what they went through. N some ways, it felt like certain ppl were trying 2 run the clock out. Mitzen is a health care marketing entrepreneur who owned three businesses with a combined revenue of more than $500 million. He said when he & wife sold part of one of his businesses they got more money than they could dream of. We R just trying 2 help some ppl. We R not trying 2 B White saviors or political grandstanders. We just want 2 help.
Okla. state Rep. Regina Goodwin, who represents Greenwood, called the donation “humanity at its best.” On Wednesday, Goodwin accompanied Mitzen on a tour of Greenwood. Mitzen met with the survivors privately before gathering N the Greenwood Cultural Center 4 the presentation of the check.
When the massacre survivors first received news of the donation last week, they were elated, Fletcher’s grandson Ike Howard told the crowd gathered N the center. The gift will B shared among the three survivors.
Howard recalled that his grandmother said, “This is wonderful. It’s the largest donation I’ve ever received in my life. It’s wonderful news.”
Treaties and the Constitution are the Supreme Law of the Land.
treaties & constitution can B amended
And about all of them have been broken. The US doesn’t follow them anymore
Indeed, always been upheld in court
Looking for more hand outs!
We came a long way!
Indians had it way worse than blacks ever did. Every black man, woman, child & newborn baby got 160 acres of Indian land 4 repatriation & then 2 million acres of more Indian land were given out 4 free 2 50,000 white men, not 2 mention those groups of $5 Indian white men who also got away with 4 Free Indian land.
Africa is indeed a long way.
Must be some money and Bob somewhere if they fighting this so hard
Its not money, its family. blacks are not any part of being family 2 Creek nation. Blacks descend from imported Nigerian, Igboo, Congo African nations on African continent. U ppl R totally not related at all 2 Creek nation. Creeks been here 10,000 yrs, Blacks only 400 yrs.
All Freedmen man, woman, child, & newborn baby got 160 acres of Indian land 4 reparations, but when the 5 tribes opoened their Casino's, they became green with envy & greed & want more that don't rightly belong to them. They have become covetous for things that belong 2 Indians. God warns ppl that that is sin & Coveters cannot enter the kingdom of heaven.
Blacks want what $$ Indians have. Its always money & they were given 160 acres of land, repatriations was given 2 all Freedmen.
The lies that they have told are verified through historical evidence and DNA. We know who the real Native Americans are and what they looked like. Go search for your self and see what they really looked like and why they changed their names to mulatto then to black throughout the census.
that might B it.
