The Muscogee (Creek) Nation, an Indigenous tribe in the American Southeast that enslaved Black people in the 1800s, continues to engage in a legal battle with descendants of enslaved families. The descendants, known as the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Freedmen, have been feuding with the tribe for decades as they seek full tribal membership, Axios reported.
In light of an appeal, the Muscogee Nation Supreme Court has issued a stay in a civil lawsuit from two freedmen descendants seeking tribal citizenship.
