The Creek Nation, also known as the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, is a Native American tribe originally from the southeastern United States. They primarily inhabited areas that are now part of Alabama, Georgia, and Florida. The tribe is known for its rich cultural heritage, including traditional crafts, music, and dance. After being forcibly removed from their ancestral lands in the 1830s during the Trail of Tears, many members settled in present-day Oklahoma. Today, the Creek Nation operates a tribal government and provides various services to its members, including education, healthcare, and economic development initiatives.
