The mood was a mixture of celebratory and somber as citizens of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation gathered at the banks of the Coosa River in Alabama.
At the heart of the fight are Muscogee human remains and artifacts, and a multimillion dollar casino built atop the sacred site.
The Muscogee Nation believes that the case could protect the artifacts and remains of other tribal nations forcibly removed from their ancestral lands.
In honor of their day in court, 150 Muscogee Nation citizens and their supporters drove from Okmulgee, Oklahoma, to Montgomery, Alabama.
