IMPORTANT POINTS OF CONTACT
for CRIME VICTIMS on the MUSCOGEE NATION RESERVATION
The Muscogee (Creek) Nation (MCN) is committed to working with State and Federal partners to ensure public safety on the Reservation. The change in jurisdictional authority and dismissal of cases by State Courts, to be filed in either Tribal and/or Federal Court, is likely to leave victims/survivors/ families with many questions. These changes require increased communication amongst Tribal, State and Federal partners and ultimately require increased communication to victims and their families, of which the MCN is committed to providing.
