Last week, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation scored an ultimately historic win for not only themselves, but for Indigenous peoples all across the country, when the Supreme Court ruled that a large swath of eastern Oklahoma is Muscogee (Creek) reservation land and there ain’t a damn thing the government can do about it.
While the verdict is definitely a cause for much Indigenous celebration, it’s one that Okie lawmakers from Governor Kevin Stitt on down have constantly proclaimed will “throw Oklahoma into chaos” and other right-wing scare-tactics. To be honest though, I kind of hope it does.
