Examples of our authentic history

The Land.

Tiger Mountain Ranch is sacred ground to all who visit. Legend tells of a vision quest by a great Chief when he brought his tribe to settle from the Trail of Tears, during this vision quest a great Tiger came to him. From that time on it has been known as Tiger Mountain. This mountain was the place that the Muscogee Creek Nation settled until all the people arrived, and then they left in clans to create their tribal family grounds throughout the newly allotted Indian Lands.

Tiger Mountain is also where the legendary Chitto Harjo (Crazy Snake) made his valiant last stand against the white mans government. This battle took place on this mountain.
