Summary The Creek Nation has undergone numerous changes since its ancestors began thriving along the Mississippi River around AD 800. Today, the Creeks are commonly referred to by their ancestral name, the Muscogees, and they continue to work hard to keep their rich traditions alive. In this book, readers discover the landmark events in the history of these proud people. They see how the Creeks battled to maintain their unique identity from suffering along the Trail of Tears to taking important roles in the modern Native American activist movement. Fascinating facts are presented about Creek family life, mythology, and art, giving readers an informative look at this thriving culture.
