LHRI Allotment Era Story Submission Form
Thank you for taking the time to add your story to our Allotment Era Database. All responses are for internal use only. Stories will only be shared with others with your express permission to do so.

Trigger Warning: Our Native past has left scars we do not realize exist because we have learned to live with them. Sharing our stories of the Allotment Era could trigger the emotions of our historical trauma. Please be advised LHRI does not have the resources, nor are we trained, to provide mental health counseling. We do, however, share in the same traumatic history and understand that through sharing our stories we may provide an element of healing for our community. Those who need mental health support can text the word 'Creek' to 741-741 to get resources from the Muscogee Nation Crisis Text Line.
