Thank you for sharing this! So important. I am with a Mvskoke/Tsalagi/Kiowa student right now with the last name TIGER. He is very excited to listen and carry on his generation STILL HERE!
I feel your pain, Debbie. My Grandma Tiger was a Mvskoke citizen, but my dad, uncles, my brothers and I are not. Unfortunately, my grandma was not terribly literate, and spelled her first name on my dad's birth certificate differently than how it was spelled on her own birth certificate. As a result, my dad's citizen application was a no go. Keep in mind, I am not talking about a different name, but a different spelling. Part of me wants to say forget it, but this is part of me and my children.
Thanks for sharing. My father's people from Georgia in the 1830s going through Alibamou by 1852 and living in Louisiana since 1860s. We had some to go one out to Akansa Territory. Okemah, Pawnee area! Much 💘 to the Muskogee Creek lands of Georgia. Strong Roots.
My brother and I are also in the process of obtaining our citizenship. Excited. Amazing legacy of Creek history my Great Grandmother left us. I agree the Creek Culture and History must be preserved. Thanks for sharing the video.
Pumpunvkv Vcayecvkes - Proud to be Mvskoke!!!! I am fortunate that my Great Grandfather Theodore O Berryhill was on the Dawes Rolls and I am in the process of obtaining my citizenship into the Nation. Everyday I learn something new about my tribe and my heritage. My hope for our tribes future and the survival of our nation, Dawes Rolls or not, we must band together as our ancestors would have, we are mighty with numbers. Mvskoke by blood, united we must stand, preserve our ancestors legacy.
I am Mvskoke,Tsalagi,Chickasaw, and Nahua/Zapoteko. I am proud to be Indigenous,I wish my family would have not stopped the language,and the traditions,but I hope to one day teach my children what I know and more.
i am a proud decendant of the creek nation and proud to know the tiger family is alive as my grandmother was daughter or granddaughter (please excuse my mix of memory) to Pansie Tiger which she had narried a sabine and two generations later i am here today wanting to know more i still have the language book and an old book of our story i treasure it so much i havent read it i dont have to to know who we are that we as a people and a nation stand beside eachother singing songs and stories of old.
ps: Creek has the same linguistic cadence as Mohawk. I heard Mohawk once. "Hi" is Sekon Skenekowenken or just Sekon". "See ya" is Onenkiwahi or just Onen. Horse is Akosentens. Owl is Tsistekerti. I forgot the rest.
My great, great, great grandfather was of the Creek Tribe. I just found the information through genealogy research. I would love to learn more about this part of my family history, including the language.
My great, great grandmother was full blooded muscogee creek and I, like you, would also love to learn the traditions and language, but I don't have the resources or people to learn from.
They were buried near the Reservation in Coosa County My ancestors at one time owned The. Blackmons. Landing at the end of Red line road in coosa county
I have discovered I am of Creek remanent of Creator YAHUAH chosen lost Hebrew tribes of Yisreal any info or history much appreciated . much love brother
