SUMMARY:Guest Speaker: Dr. Christopher Haveman on the Removal of the Creek Indians from Alabama and Georgia 1827-1849
DESCRIPTION:Draughon Seminars in State and Local History presents:\nThe Removal of the Creek Indians from Alabama and Georgia, 1827-1849\n\nCo-Sponsored by Fort Mitchell Historic Site and Russell County Historical Commission\n\nWhile most people are familiar with the Cherokee “Trail of Tears,” fewer know that approximately twenty-three thousand Creek Indians were also forced from Alabama and Georgia to Indian territory, west of the Mississippi River, between 1827 and 1849. This talk will explain how federal officials relocated the Creek people (including removing those who fled to the Chickasaw, Cherokee, and Seminole Nations) and discuss the Creeks’ experiences as they traveled over dusty roads and along frozen rivers to present-day Oklahoma.\n\nAbout the Speaker\n\nChristopher D. Haveman is an associate professor of history at the University of West Alabama and the author of Rivers of Sand: Creek Indian Emigration, Relocation, and Ethnic Cleansing in the American South and Bending Their Way Onward: Creek Indian Removal in Documents.\n\n\n\n
