The Okmulgee Constitution: A Step Towards Indian Self-Determination
Article describes a series of meetings held in the 1870s by a general council comprised of delegates from twelve Indian tribes to draft a constitution setting up a territorial government, the Okmulgee Constitution. Although the constitution itself was never adopted, the council meetings still allowed the tribes to confront issues they were facing and provided an example of their self-determination to the national government.
