Creek Council Oak Tree
Creek Council Oak Tree, Historic oak tree in Tulsa, United States
The Creek Council Oak Tree stands on a hill overlooking the Arkansas River, marking the southeastern corner of the first Creek settlement in the region.
In 1836, the Lochapoka Creek people deposited ceremonial ashes from their Alabama homes under this tree after their forced relocation through the Trail of Tears.
The grounds around this tree served as a central meeting place for Creek tribal ceremonies, council meetings, and community gatherings until 1896.
The Creek Council Oak Tree sits in a dedicated park between Seventeenth and Eighteenth Streets at the intersection of Cheyenne and Denver Avenues.
The park contains an ethno-horticultural garden displaying traditional Creek medicinal plants, with detailed planting information available at the Library of Congress.
