There have been a lot of lawsuits, but the Creeks were so widely disbursed that not much has happened among their descendants. My paternal great-great grandmother was full blooded Creek, married a French Huguenot who migrated to Georgia via Wales fleeing religious persecution. My mother's family were Jews who came to Quebec from Hamburg in the 1600s and ended up in Alabama several generations later as Baptist preachers. When asked my background, I usually just say Heinz 57 varieties. But if claims based on being the original settlers carry any weight, there a number of places my ancestors were evicted from that they might have a claim to.
