Apalachicola Tribal Town Mekko John Blount is recognized along with the Muskogee (Creek) Nation Reservation that existed on these lands. The Muskogee (Creek) Nation was forcefully removed from Florida on the Trail of Tears in March 1834 from present-day Blountstown, Calhoun County, Florida. The Muskogee (Creek) Nation honors the sacred historical significance of lands in Florida and remembers the Mvskokvlke (Muscogee People) who lived and died for the perseverance of future Muscogee people.
