Event Presenter (Saturday): Ms. Brittany Postoak
Ms. Brittany Postoak is a Mvskoke artist, researcher, and scholar whose work explores Mvskoke history, family memory, land, and the continuation of stories across generations. She is an enrolled citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
Bio:
Brittany Postoak is a Mvskoke artist, researcher, and student at Fort Lewis College, where she is pursuing a degree in Native American and Indigenous Studies. Her work centers on Mvskoke history, family memory, land, and the ways stories continue across generations. She is a descendant of Taylor Postoak (Nokose Yahola), who served as Second Chief of the Muscogee Nation after Removal and played a key role in rebuilding and reunifying the Nation following his service alongside Opothleyahola for the Union during the Civil War. Through both research and art, Brittany works to preserve family and community histories that are often fragmented or missing from the historical record.
For this discussion, Brittany will speak about her family connections and how her research into figures such as Taylor Postoak has shaped her understanding of citizenship, belonging, and historical memory within the Muscogee Nation. She will also share her perspective on the current state of Creek Freedmen citizenship, including how archival gaps, documentation systems, and historical policies continue to influence identity, community, and recognition today.
Mvto!
