Created at statehood from lands in the Creek Nation, Indian Territory. The county seat, Okmulgee, has been the capital of the Creek Nation since the Civil War. The Indians chose the site in the belief that tornadoes would not strike the area. Two local lakes furnish most of the water for the county. Major highways are I-40, east-west, and S.H. 75, north-south. Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad maintains a station for shipping. Points of interest are: the Creek Council House Museum (former meeting place of the Intertribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes), the Creek Tribal Complex, Samuel Checote grave site, Oklahoma State University – Okmulgee, Nuyaka Mission, and Okmulgee State Park. A Pecan Festival is held mid-June annually in Okmulgee and a Labor Day celebration is observed in Henryetta each year. Both cities support public libraries. The City of Okmulgee is a participant in the Oklahoma Department of Commerce’s Main Street project. History of Okmulgee County offers information about the area. For additional information, call the County Clerk’s office at (918) 756-0788. County Seat – Okmulgee Area – 702.32 Square Miles County Population – 39,625 (2012 est.)

Millage rates are established by the Oklahoma Constitution. One mill equals one-thousandth of a dollar. For example, if the assessed value of a property is $1,000.00 and the millage rate is 1.00, then the tax on that property is $1.00.

More than 10,000 prehistoric sites are recorded for the state, and they are estimated to represent about 10 percent of the actual number, according to archaeologist Don G. Wyckoff. Some of these sites pertain to the lives of Oklahoma’s original settlers—the Wichita and Caddo, and perhaps such relative latecomers as the Kiowa Apache, Osage, Kiowa, and Comanche.

Smith 2010 All Rights Reserved. Acknowledgments Distilling years of work, assistance, and thanks into a few pages of acknowledgements is difficult. My immediate gratitude is to the Department of History at the University of Oklahoma and my dissertation advisor, Dr. Warren Metcalf, whose advice and critique struck the right balance of honesty and humor. Dr. Metcalf gave me ample room to pursue my own ideas in this process and enough support to realize I could be a serviceable scholar. I must also thank Albert Hurtado, Robert Griswold, Peter Cahn, Fay Yarbrough, and Gus Palmer, all of whom served on my committee at various points and offered their time and comments in order to make this a better research project and dissertation. I would especially like to thank Elyssa Faison for her subtle influence throughout this dissertation. I may have been far removed from her own field of study, but she provided an excellent example as both a scholar and teacher. That I write this of her even after she made me read Homi Bhabha in seminar is a sign of my respect for her as an individual.

Muscogee Constitutional Jurisprudence: Vhakv Em Pvtakv (The aC rpet Under The Law) Abstract In 1974, a group of Mvskoke citizens from Oklahoma sued the federal government in federal court. Hanging in the balance was the future of Mvskoke self-determination. The lp aintiffs insisted that their 1867 Constitution remained in full effect, and that they still governed themselves pursuant to it. The nitU ed States argued that the constitution had been nullified by federal law passed in the early 1900s. To find in favor of the plaintiffs, the court would have to rule that the United States had been ignoring the most basic civil rights of Mvskoke citizens and flouting the law for over seventy years. It would also have to find that a tribal government had been operating legitimately in the shadows—that the Mvskoke people had continued to operate under their constitution for most of the twentieth century despite official federal antagonism.
