Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns is the Commission of Indian Affairs for the U.S. state of Georgia.[1]
In addition to having relationships with federally recognized American Indian tribes with roots in what is now Georgia, including several Cherokee and Muscogee tribes, the Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns recognizes three state-recognized tribes: the Cherokee of Georgia Tribal Council, the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, and the Lower Muskogee Creek Tribe. Despite recognition from the Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns, the three state-recognized tribes are regarded as fraudulent by the three federally recognized Cherokee tribes: the Cherokee Nation, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians.[2]
