The Muscogee Nation

The Muscogee Nation is a self-governed Native American sovereign Nation with tribal headquarters located in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. It is the fourth largest tribe in the U.S. with more than 90,000 citizens nationwide. The tribal government is made up of an executive branch, a legislative body and a tribal court system that pre-dates Oklahoma statehood. The Muscogee Nation has grown operations through modern times and has diverse interests in cultural tourism, business and economic development. These opportunities afford the tribe greater resources to fulfill the mission of providing health care, social services and education to it's citizens. Over 100 years after the dark days of the allotment era, the Muscogee people are actively engaged in the process of accepting and asserting the rights and responsibilities of a sovereign nation. As a culturally distinct people, the Muscogee are also aware of the necessity for knowing and understanding their extraordinary historical and cultural inheritance.
