The news arrived that federal recognition is now a reality. This outcome belongs entirely to all of you who kept pushing for justice when it seemed like a distant dream. I am truly humbled by what we managed to achieve together.

I am signing this petition to voice my support of the federal acknowledgement of the Muscogee Nation of Florida by an Act of Congress. I ask that the Senate and House of Representatives take immediate action to pass legislation to recognize this Tribal Government which will enable the membership to share in the rights, benefits, and responsibilities afforded to Indian people across the United States. This Tribe has struggled for justice for over 60 years. It is time for Congress to take action.

I honestly never thought this would reach one hundred signatures when I started. It is truly humbling to see so many people care about this cause because this momentum belongs entirely to you.

In memory of Lee Dunn, Lance Dunn, Herman Dunn and all of our disinherited by courthouse fire though our records of Lee as "Copper" survive. And most especially in memory and eternal love of my beloved grandmother Mae and my Dawes Roll listed ancestors on her husbands side, I sign this to preserve the posketvn and all the things she taught me. Este hunvnwv cate mvskoke toyis ca! Hesaketvmese, mvto!

I am asking the Congress to finally take action and recognize the Muscogee Nation of Florida with an Act of Congress. The tribe has struggled for recognition and justice for over 60 years. I am asking as an American and a Muscogee. It is past time for this tribe to share in the rights, benefits, and responsibilities afforded to other Native Americans across the country.
