Justice on the Rez Data Collection Project

JUSTICE ON THE REZ

Have you have received a traffic citation from a state or municipal police department while driving on the Mvskoke Reservation? If so, please complete the following survey.
Hesci!

The Muscogee (Creek) Nation recognizes Indians residing, working, or traveling through the Mvskoke Reservation are being wrongfully prosecuted by the State and local governments for crimes ranging from speeding tickets to felonies. And in some instances, the State and local governments are unlawfully detaining Indians in relation to their criminal prosecutions. These actions are a direct violation of the fundamental rights of Indian people because federal law prohibits States and local governments from prosecuting Indians who allegedly commit offenses in Indian country.

This survey is a component of the #JusticeOnTheRez advocacy campaign spearheaded by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Attorney General’s Office. The campaign is designed to help Mvskoke citizens and other Indians within the Nation’s Reservation understand their rights, empower Indians to exercise those rights, and defend the sovereignty of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. Data collected through this survey will be used solely for data analysis to inform the AG's efforts to address wrongful prosecutions across the Mvskoke Reservation.

Mvto for your participation!
