United States, Georgia, 32.75042, -83.500181824-12-11Letter dated December 11, 1824 from Creek council members the Little Prince, Chilly McIntosh, William McIntosh, Opothle Yoholo, and Hopoy Hadgo to United States officials in response to a talk given by those officials to the Creeks. The Creeks voice disagreement with the officials' claim that the Muscogees were not the original inhabitants of the southeast, but took the land from peoples they conquered. They also take issue with the Georgia Compact of 1802, citing several treaties (Treaty of New York 1790, Treaty of Fort Jackson 1814, Treaty of Indian Spring(s) 1821) that guarantee land rights to the Creeks. The council states that the Creeks cannot afford to give up any more land, they do not wish to remove beyond the Mississippi River, and they decline any proposals to do so.Digital image of original manuscript, scanned by the University of Georgia Libraries in 2000, as part of GALILEO, funded in part by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services.text/htmlimage/jpegtcc181engMode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: AT&T DjVu browser plug-in needed to view images of documents.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/Manuscript held by the Hargrett Rare Book and Manuscript Library, The University of Georgia Libraries, Telamon Cuyler, box 78, folder 05, document 06.Creek Indians--TreatiesCreek Indians--Land tenure[Letter], 1824 Dec. 11 / Little Prince ...
