Creek Indians, early 19th century (c1880)
Creek Indians, early 19th century (c1880). The Creek fought a war of resistance (Red Stick War) against white immigration into their lands in 1813-1814. After their defeat, much of their land was taken under the terms of the Treaty of Fort Jackson, becoming the State of Alabama in 1819. In 1826, the Creek leader, Menawa, went to Washington to protest agaist the second Treaty of Indian Springs (1825) which stipulated that the majority of the Creek nation would be relocated west of the Mississppi. The treaty was annulled by the Treaty of Washington (1826). A print from Cassells History of the United States, by Edmund Ollier, Volume III, Cassell Petter and Galpin, London, c1880

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a group of Creek Indians during the early 19th century, shedding light on their rich history and struggles against white immigration. The Creek people valiantly fought in the Red Stick War (1813-1814) to resist encroachment onto their lands by European settlers. Unfortunately, after their defeat, much of their territory was taken under the terms of the Treaty of Fort Jackson, ultimately leading to the establishment of Alabama as a state in 1819. In 1826, Menawa, a prominent Creek leader, traveled all the way to Washington D. C. to protest against another unjust treaty known as the Treaty of Indian Springs (1825). This agreement aimed at relocating the majority of Creek nation westward across the Mississippi River. However, thanks to Menawa's efforts and subsequent negotiations resulting in the annulment of this treaty through what became known as the Treaty of Washington (1826), some semblance of justice was restored for these resilient Native Americans. The intricate details captured within this engraving showcase not only traditional Creek attire but also highlight elements such as headdresses and distinctive dress that were integral parts of their cultural identity. Preserved within Cassells History of United States by Edmund Ollier from around 1880s London publication era; this print serves as an important historical artifact that reminds us about both triumphs and tribulations faced by Native American communities throughout America's past.
