New Virtual Field Trip
Above: the new Creek Nation virtual experience
Creek Nation
They keep coming! The
Creek Nation virtual field trip is now available for students on our
website and on the
GPB app. This virtual experience provides students with an in-depth look at the lives of the Creek Indians prior to the arrival of the first settlers in Georgia, the fight to remain on their land, and their removal from Georgia in the 1830s. It is a perfect way to bring the classroom content surrounding this period to life.
Creek Nation addresses state standards
SS8H2 and
SS8H4 of the Georgia Standards of Excellence for eighth grade Georgia Studies. It also covers
SS4H3b for fourth grade United States history. We recommend that students explore this virtual field trip after they have completed Unit 4 of the
Georgia Studies Book: Our State and Our Nation or material referencing the removal of the Creeks from Georgia.
