Who are the Muscogee (Creek)?

Welcome to our detailed exploration of the fascinating Muscogee (Creek) Nation, one of the most vibrant Indigenous cultures in North America. This video dives into the rich history, vibrant culture, and significant contributions of the Muscogee people, expanding on the brief overview provided in the two-minute summary.
The Muscogee, also known as the Creek, have a rich and complex history that extends far beyond the arrival of Europeans. Originating from the southeastern United States, particularly in regions now known as Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina, the Muscogee were highly influential in the shaping of America's history and cultural landscape.

The Muscogee's sophisticated political system, known as the Creek Confederacy was a powerful alliance of distinct tribes, bound together by mutual interest and shared culture. The Confederacy played a crucial role in the region's politics and stood as a significant power during the colonial period.

We'll also explore the Muscogee's traditional belief system and their reverence for nature, a cornerstone of their culture. Their rituals, spiritual practices, and cosmology offer unique insights into their world view and relationship with the earth.

The Muscogee people's resilience is an essential part of their story, as they endured the harsh trials of the Indian Removal Act and the Trail of Tears. Despite these challenges, they maintained their cultural identity and continue to thrive today, contributing immensely to art, music, literature, and more.

We also highlight the Muscogee language, Mvskoke, an integral part of their cultural identity. Despite pressures of assimilation, efforts to preserve and revitalize the language persist today.

You say the word "Muscogee" this way "Mus-co-gee" not "mus-cogee"

[@laurenmiller3886]

Mvto 🤗

[@calebfromok2686]

No, he said “MUHSKAWWWGEE” 😂

[@mistiriglisiis]

You're not saying the name of the nation correctly. it's not mus-KAW-ghee, it's musk-OWE-ghee. OWE like to "owe" something to someone. they've never historically done the "flute" thing so the background music comes off as a little cliche. same goes with the video icon with a guy in a plains-style headdress; Muscogees never really did that style of headdress either so the icon was confusing. im intrigued by the premise of your channel and look forward to seeing more.

Mvskoke seminole checking in😊

[@dwaynetaylor2463]

It's strange I never was sure about my ancestors until my aunt told me my grandma was Creek. I still resist the thought of belonging, until I hear the tribal music...then I'm taken by it even though I don't know the language .

[@daisyluv3145]

Babes you can learn for free ❤❤

[@unkcuba4120]

My grandfather was Muskogee (Creek)

[@DarkfoxTamamo_21]

I am related to 2 tribes but was born under the muscogee creek nation. I am a citizen.

[@GlutenlessSinCity]

I tried to watch this as a Mvskoke Citizen. But you butchering the name of my tribe is pretty disgusting!!!

[@banksmartly]

Hesci,
Mvskoke is an endangered people and language.
I’m personally thankful someone is willing to spend their free time to raise awareness about our culture and legacy.
People who are not entrenched in our heritage should be welcomed, and encouraged, corrected nicely, and not berated.

[@SheilaG971]

I think they meant well and certainly didn’t intend to mispronounce the name of our people.
As is the nature of our people, I applaud these efforts. Peace 💫

[@laurenmiller3886]

[@JimmyDuBose-zv3or]

How can you talk about my ancestors and not say the name right!? Should have just said creeks!

[@snakejumper3277]

The thumbnail is a representation of Plains Indians. Plus, the painting at 1:30 that purports to show the Green Corn dance looks cartoonish & is nothing like real life.

[@ayachiazz9118]

En guinguette

I just can't listen to the incorrect pronunciation.

[@DianaLou231]
