The Creek (Muscogee) Indians of Alabama live
on a land grant given their ancestors by Gen.
Andrew Jackson. Lynn McGhee, a part-Indian
scout, saved Gen. Jackson's life at the Battle of
Horseshoe Bend in 1814, when Jackson took the
land of the friendly Creeks who had fought with
him against the "Red Sticks" or hostile Creeks.
The land grant is to be theirs "as long as the
grass groweth and the water runneth". The East-
ern Band of the Creek Indian nation has two
colorful ceremonial dance groups.
