The Chief: Calvin McGhee and the Forgotten Creeks
1995 documentary on the history of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians of Atmore, Alabama.
The Creek Indians of south Alabama lived in isolation and poverty until Calvin McGhee came along. Despite treaty promises, they had been abandoned by the federal government. A farmer with only a fifth grade education, McGhee fought tirelessly for his people. Through court battles and meetings with government officials in which he wore traditional plains Indian clothing, McGhee brought the forgotten Creeks of the southeastern states to national attention.
