If you have been on the reservation lately, you may have already spotted it. The new 50-foot mural on Building 100 along Jack Springs Road is impossible to miss, and the story it tells is one worth stopping to take in.
Created by Auburn University Professor Wendy DesChene and her students, the mural is a sweeping, colorful timeline of who we are as Creek people. From fish trap baskets and longleaf pine needle baskets to stickball scenes and stomp dancing, from ancestral portraits to local moments of courage, every detail was chosen with intention.
Mvto to Professor DesChene, her students, and our Tribal Historic Preservation Officer Billy Bailey for bringing this vision to life. Next time you are on the reservation, take a moment to stop and experience it up close.
