About THLOPTHLOCCO TRIBAL TOWN

Thlopthlocco Tribal Town is a federally recognized tribe and a traditional township of Muscogee Creek Indians in Oklahoma. Thlopthlocco Tribal Town is headquartered in Okemah and Clearview, Oklahoma. Tribal jurisdiction is within Creek, Hughes, Mayes, McIntosh, Muskogee, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Rogers, Seminole, Tulsa, and Wagoner counties.

Thlopthlocco is one of the central core of Mvskoke-speaking towns that were the original members of the Creek Confederacy in Georgia and Alabama. Sometime before 1832 Thlopthlocco split off from a large tribal town and was removed to Indian Territory with the rest of the Mvskoke Creeks in 1835. They ultimately settled in an area eight miles south of Okemah, in Okfuskee and Hughes counties. Like other Creeks, they lost most of their land with the passage of the Dawes Act in 1887 and the subsequent assignment of small individual allotments to each family.
