Description: The following video is the second part of a two-part series, titled Songs of the Muskogee Creek, which includes ceremonial songs for the Green Corn Dance, aka "the Busk", found among the Muscogee Nation of Oklahoma, the Seminole Nation of Oklahoma, and a few sung in modified form by some grounds of the Seminole Tribe of Florida and the Miccosukee Tribe of Indians of Florida, located in South Florida in the Everglades and around Lake Okeechobee. Some of these terms like "Muscogee / Seminole" encompass even more distinct cultures, such as the Yuchi / Euchee, the Hitchiti-Mikasuki, Freedmen & Maroon cultures of Black Indian peoples, and others. A few songs are shared between the other "five civilized tribes" of the State of Oklahoma, including the Cherokee and the Choctaw in addition to the aforementioned. The Chickasaw historically sang some of these "shared" songs, too, but their last independent ceremonial grounds became defunct in 1936; even here, though, at Kullihoma, a few songs and relevant dances included are sung and shared for educational purposes. The este-catvlke / yat-ketescare / hattak vpi homma / Aniyvwiyai are here, and will forever be here. Mvto / Wado / Sonabessa / Yakoke.
