The Creek of the American Southeast have had their share of conflict with invaders. First the Spanish came looking for gold. They left diseases and ruined the crops of the Creeks who lived there. Then English colonists moved in, trading goods for deerskins. As the deerskin market faded, the Creeks fell into debt. They sold parts of their land to pay it. Through many treaties, the Creek continued to lose their land. Eventually they were forced to march on the Trail of Tears to land west of the Mississippi River. But they did not give up their culture or traditions. Find out how the Muscogee/Creek Nation hasendured and thrived, even in the face of extreme obstacles.
