Neglected by federal officials and shutout by state and local educators, in the 1930s and 1940s, Native Americans of the Poarch Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Escambia County, Alabama undertook a political crusade demanding that their children be given equal access to public education like the other public school students within the county and state. Over a 20-year period, the crusade that ultimately affected thousands of Muscogee citizens, is called the cokv-kerretv encehvlletv Mvskoke, or the Muscogee Education Movement (Bunny, 1998).

520 $a Neglected by federal officials and shutout by state and local educators, in the 1930s and 1940s, Native Americans of the Poarch Muscogee (Creek) Nation in Escambia County, Alabama undertook a political crusade demanding that their children be given equal access to public education like the other public school students within the county and state. Over a 20-year period, the crusade that ultimately affected thousands of Muscogee citizens, is called the cokv-kerretv encehvlletv Mvskoke, or the Muscogee Education Movement (Bunny, 1998).
520 $a Notwithstanding socio-economic disadvantages and cultural barriers, in 1949, Muscogee leaders pressured the Escambia County Board of Education to establish a public elementary school the for Muscogee students in the heart of the nation at Poarch, Alabama, called the Consolidated Indian School. Despite the significance of this event, prior research has not thoroughly documented the establishment of the Consolidated Indian School (Sturtevant, 1987). For my qualifying paper, I examined the historical factors that shaped the Muscogee Education Movement in the 1930s and 1940s, primarily through a series of interviews with four Muscogee elders who were participants in the crusade. Building on this foundation, for my dissertation, I expanded this research by further investigating the political structures, the inequalities in education and the influence of assimilation, through interviews with these same participants who possess significant firsthand knowledge that can be learned from no other source. Using the portraiture methodology, I analyzed the interview data, as well as literature and document collections, to tell the story of the Muscogee Education Movement in this historically marginalized and disadvantaged community (Lawrence-Lightfoot and Davis, 1997).
