Muscogee seek to renew Alabama burial grounds dispute

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation is pushing for a new complaint in its ongoing legal battle over a sacred burial ground in Alabama. The tribe alleges that the Poarch Band of Creek Indians, along with other parties, desecrated the Hickory Ground site by removing the remains of 57 ancestors for a casino project. The dispute has drawn national attention due to the site's historical significance and its place on the National Register of Historic Places. The Muscogee are seeking to halt the casino's operation and restore the site.
