The Five Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma are the Cherokees, Chickasaws, Choctaws, Creeks (Muscogees) and Seminoles. These tribes were so named ("Civilized") because of their ties to American setters' culture and economy. They are the five major Indian nations of the southeastern United States, and descendants live primarily in Oklahoma.
In the 21st century, this term has been criticized by some scholars for its ethnocentric assumptions by Anglo-Americans of what they considered civilized, but representatives of these tribes continue to meet regularly on a quarterly basis in their Inter-Tribal Council of the Five Civilized Tribes.
