Synopsis
In 1979, the Muscogee Creek Nation took a vote to exclude African American descendants (known as Creek Freedmen) from the tribe even though they were adopted as tribal citizens with full rights by a treaty signed in 1866 between the United States and the Creek Nation. BLOODLINES examines the struggle that the African American descendants of the Creek Tribe have had in claiming tribal citizenship despite history showing many African Americans and Native Americans cohabitating, intermarrying, and forming communities in Indian territory circa the mid-1800s. Q&A
