Oklahoma is home to nearly forty American Indian tribes, and
includes the largest Native population of any state. As a result,
many Americans think of the state as "Indian Country." For more
than half a century readers have turned to Muriel H. Wright's" A
Guide to the Indian Tribes of Oklahoma" as the authoritative source
for information on the state's Native peoples. Now Blue Clark, an
enrolled member of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation, has rendered a
completely new guide that reflects the drastic transformation of
Indian Country in recent years.
As a synthesis of current knowledge, this book places the
state's Indians in their contemporary context as no other book has
done. Solidly grounded in scholarship and Native oral tradition, it
provides general readers the unique story of each tribe, from the
Alabama-Quassartes to the Yuchis. Each entry contains a complete
statistical and narrative summary of the tribe, encompassing
everything from origin tales and archaeological research to
contemporary ceremonies and tribal businesses. The entries also
include tribal websites and suggested readings, along with
photographs depicting prominent tribal personages, visitor sites,
and accomplishments.
