I'm building a collection of Mvskoke history, reference materials and select videos on my website.

The Muscogee Nation is the 8th largest Native Nation. All non-Natives, especially in the US should know Mvskoke history.

If any Mvskoke know of anything that should be added, please let me know - Mvto!

I wouldn't exactly consider this a AAA source but it is interesting.

Were Creek Indians from West Mexico?

Many of the cultural traditions and artifacts discovered in Mississippian period archaeological sites in Georgia have strong similarities to cultural traditions in the west Mexican states.

Migration legends...also suggest an origin in west Mexico.

I also have Indigenous DNA from the area.

One the greatest differences between the Mvskoke and invading colonizers was that Mvskoke society (like most Natives) was matrilineal.

Patrilineal/patriarchal colonizers never quite figured out they were dealing with the wrong people and a better way, or if they knew, forced their less than effective arrogance anyway.

Generally, colonizer history says hundreds of years when Mvskoke history say thousands of years.

This is something to remember, even the best non-Native historical documentation has built-in bias and inaccuracy doing its best to erase or minimize Natives.

As Raini and Autumn Deerinwater, 25, talk about the excitement of their whirlwind modeling journey so far, their eyes sparkle like the light of the fashion-forward cities where they’re fulfilling their dreams.

The Muscogee (Creek) twins, who are also Navajo and Cherokee, discuss the surreality of seeing themselves on a Times Square billboard last summer...

William "Will" Sampson was born in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, on September 27, 1933, to Wylie and Mabel Lewis Sampson, who were full-blood Muscogee (Creek) Indians.

He was noticed at an art show and offered the role of Chief Bromden in the 1975 Academy Award–winning film One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The image is my Great-Grandfather's brother Andrew Jackson 'Jake' Berryhill, his wife Leah Jane Yarborough Berryhill & one of their kids. I believe it was between 1880-1890.

This link is an interview from 1937. His parents are my Great-Great-Grandparents.
