The Muscogee (Creek) Nation is a sovereign, federally recognized Native American tribe headquartered in Okmulgee, Oklahoma. With over 100,000 citizens, it stands as the fourth-largest tribe in the United States.

Located in Okmulgee, the Nation’s capital, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Complex serves as the seat of tribal government. It houses the Executive Branch (Principal Chief, Second Chief, Support Staff), Legislative Branch (National Council), the Judicial Branch (District and Supreme Courts), and many support services essential to the function of tribal government including the Lighthorse Tribal Police Department.

The Creek Council House located in Okmulgee, Oklahoma stands as a bridge from pre-removal Muscogee life in the North American southeast to a new life in Indian Territory. It is the place where present-day Muscogee (Creek) government was formally established and where Muscogee people founded the present-day city of Okmulgee in 1868.

More than 400 years ago a single language was shared among a large number of towns along the Coosa, Tallapoosa, Alabama, Chattohoochee, and Flint Rivers of Alabama and Georgia. It was the most widely spoken language in the region, used for diplomacy, medicine, and personal names even in towns where other languages were used for everyday speech. The language the people shared came to be known as the language of the Muscogee people. English settlers later called it Creek. 

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation Language Department is dedicated to the preservation and promotion of the language. The department produces learning resources and provides language teachers to local communities and schools that offer language classes.
