	Creek people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		McIntosh was a cousin of Georgia governor George Troup, who saw the Creeks as a threat to white expansion in the region, and had been elected for the Democratic party on a platform of Indian removal.
		The Creek National Council, led by Opothle Yohola, protested to the United States that the Treaty of Indian Springs was fraudulent.
		Land speculators and squatters began to defraud Creeks out of their allotments, and violence broke out, leading to the so-called "Creek War of 1836." Secretary of War Lewis Cass dispatched General Winfield Scott to end the violence by forcibly removing the Creeks to the Indian Territory west of the Mississippi River.

		The tribe’s neighbors say events like these are what began to erode the community’s trust in the tribe--trust that the tribe would look out for not only their own, but for all Valley residents and the land they all hold dear.
		Although the tribe’s consultants have accused their opponents of being “gentlemen farmers,” the family’s home is a modest three-bedroom house surrounded by wild kittens, scattered toys and fields of lavender.

		The tribe believes the additional water behind the dam contributed greatly to the destruction in Supai and the waterfalls downstream from the village by extending the duration of the 1993 flood for days.
		The tribe never recognized the loss of its traditional homelands and continued for decades to seek the return of at least a portion of it.
		While the tribe takes a long-range view of life, and has repeatedly demonstrated patience and persistence while fighting for land over many decades, there is a prevailing sense that what was destroyed two years ago may be lost forever.

		The tribe obtained a judgment and we granted a petition by the United States for certiorari.
		The tribe was a dependent Indian community under the guardianship of the United States, and therefore its property and affairs were subject to the control and management of that government.
		True, they rested on an erroneous application of the act of 1891 to the Creek lands in the strip; but, as that application was confirmed by the United States, the matter stands as if the act had distinctly directed the disposals.

		The tribes also argued that their cause of action did not accrue until 1987 because only then did a designated portion of the fund become payable to the individual descendants, who for the first time obtained a vested right in the judgment.
		The House Committee report strongly characterizes the Federal Court decisions as lending support to the merits of the Tribe's claims that the original distribution plan is unfair to the Tribes, and that the Tribes had no knowledge that the lineal descendants would be included in the distribution.
		Although their support was apparently a compromise in order to get a distribution plan passed and possibly would not foreclose the Tribes from later bringing suit to challenge the Act, the fact of their participation does underscore the point that the Tribes from the very beginning had full knowledge of the act they now challenge.

		The dam, 1700 feet long, will cause the inundation of 437 acres of wetlands, 21 miles of perennial and intermittent streams, and 875 acres of upland wildlife habitat, and additional alteration of 105 acres of downstream wetlands — which allegedly will be harmful to fish and wildlife in the York River watershed.
		Because the dam will be constructed by a "discharge of dredged or fill material" into Cohoke Mill Creek, a construction permit (federal permit) from the United States Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is required under § 404 of the federal Act, 33 U.S.C. 1344(a).
