A Sacred Path: The Way of the Muscogee Creeks

By Jean Chaudhuri and Joyotpaul Chaudhuri, 2001.

A Sacred Path explains and documents Creek persistence as a people despite having been defrauded and dispossessed of their ancient homelands. The book connects the Muscogee sacred history with the land, the spirit world, the confederacy’s sociopolitical organization, and its ceremonial cycle in a carefully researched and well-written single volume. It is an exploration of Muscogee Creek values and views, including concepts of nature, genesis, gender relations, religion, and history. Written from a traditional full-blood Muscogee citizen’s perspective and compiled through the teachings of many traditional elders and leaders, the book is a valuable addition to the current body of literature on the tribe.

Apocalypse of Chiokoyhikoy: Chief of the Iroquois  

Edited by Robert Griffin and Donald A. Grinde Jr., 1997.  
  
The Apocalypse of Chiokoyhikoy addresses the means used by the Americans in their attempt to gain the support of a "few Savage Nations of North America." This mysterious work, published in 1777 by order of Congress and ignored by researchers until now, brings to life through a dramatic prophecy, first written in Iroquois and then translated into French, the fate of the Indians since the arrival of European "monsters." It is followed by a long commentary intended to convince the reader that the least "abominable" are the Americans.
