July 25 marked a significant moment for our community. A historical marker commemorating the Battle of Burnt Corn Creek was officially dedicated at Jennings Park in Brewton, with Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Bill Bailey sharing the history and significance of the battle for those in attendance.

The ceremony brought together community leaders, elected officials, Tribal Elders, Tribal Citizens, and our Tribal Princesses for a morning centered on one shared commitment: making sure this history is not forgotten. The Battle of Burnt Corn Creek is part of who we are, and markers like this ensure that future generations will know it.

Today, we celebrate 42 years of federal recognition. On August 11, 1984, the Poarch Creek Indians became Alabama's only federally recognized Tribe, a milestone that was the result of decades of determination, perseverance, and the unwavering commitment of those who came before us.

Forty-two years later, we continue to build on that foundation. Happy Sovereignty Day.

Congratulations to Mark Cruz of the Klamath Tribes on his confirmation as the new Director of the Indian Health Service! The U.S. Senate confirmed Cruz in a 51-47 vote Friday, August 7, ending nearly 19 months without permanent leadership at an agency that provides health care to approximately 2.8 million American Indians and Alaska Natives.

Cruz brings firsthand experience navigating federal health policy at the highest levels, having previously served as one of the most senior Native officials within HHS. We look forward to seeing what his leadership means for Tribal communities across the country.
