"The Ma-Chis Lower Creek Indian Tribe of Alabama (Ma-Chis Nation) citizens
are remnants of the "Creek Confederacy" as European Explorers knew it at the
first contact with white settlers during the European expansion into what is now
the southeastern part of the United States of America. This area of America was
inhabited by the Muskogee language speaking Native Americans and was also known
as "friendlies" and, of the "Five Civilized Tribes". We loved our homeland to
the extent of denying that we were Indians, and blended with the "settlers,"
instead of being relocated to the west during forced removal under the Indian
Removal Act of the 1830's......After some 140 years, we were recognized by the
State of Alabama as Native Americans, and the State commissioned the "Alabama
Indian Affairs Commission" to serve the Native Americans in Alabama."
