The Lucinda Hickory Research Institute
Our booth at Indigenous Peoples Day in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, which is the Capitol of Muscogee Nation at the Creek Council House.
LHRI had many visitors and we did not get as many pictures as we would have liked.

Tatianna Duncan and Gano Perez
Our Executive Director and Cultural Specialists spent the day visiting with our many visitors who shared their family’s experience of the allotment era. We also have many families share with us issues they are having with their inherited restricted land today. In over 120 years very little has changed with allotment land issues.

Voices of Our Mvskoke Ancestors
LHRI has researched the Hickory family of Indian Territory. They were full-blood Mvskoke Indians who did not read, write, or speak English. They lived and loved in their Mvskoke culture. They did not seek to live in a colonized world, yet as victims of the forced assimilation of the American Indian, they set out to survive in the ever-changing colonized world. The fight for survival began, as they were losing possession of their private allotted lands, at the hands of their guardians to real estate developers. Experiencing the mysterious, untimely deaths of family members, their children being taken from them and sent to Indian Boarding school, their story is one of fortitude & tenacity… like many Mvskokvlke.
Join The Lucinda Hickory Research Institute for our first workshop on:
“An Investigation into the Allotment Era”
We are looking for descendants whose Mvskoke ancestors owned land in the Tulsa area to share their stories for our Mobile Land Allotment Exhibit.
