“MVSKOKE TERRITORY — On Sat., Nov. 27, tribal members of the Muscogee (Creek) Tribe currently based in the Helvpe Ceremonial Grounds of so-called Eastern Oklahoma returned to their ancestral homelands known as Atlanta. […] The Muscogee (Creek) community leaders of Oklahoma were joined by other first nation peoples from Alabama and Georgia to participate in cultural sharing and stomp dance ceremonies in the South River Forest located in unincorporated DeKalb County. The event was open to the public and the larger community in the metro area, with hundreds in attendance. The ceremonies were performed in Intrenchment Creek Park, which resides next to a plot of land known as the Old Atlanta Prison Farm. Both plots of land are currently under threat of further development, construction, and deforestation in long-standing battles in the city.” – from article
