The revision of a course on Mvskoke culture that will culminate in a travel-study trip to the original homelands of the Muscogee people in the southeastern area of the United States.

The College of the Muscogee Nation proposes a two-year Humanities
initiative to combine classroom lecture with a travel study to the original homelands of the Muscogee (Creek) people. Students enrolled in the MVSK 2343: Field Lab in Mvskoke Culture will have classroom instruction and complete the course with a trip to the traditional and historical sites significant to the Mvskoke. By redesigning the curriculum during the first two trimesters of year one, CMN will strengthen the humanities focus in this course and provide new experiences for students enrolled in the course. As the humanities focus for this course increases, the planning team will expand collections of Mvskoke (Creek) documents, oral histories, literature, and media resources to support the Field Lab in Mvskoke Culture and other courses on the CMN campus.
