Oxford, Alabama. The descendants of Native Americans who were forced out of the Southeast almost 200 years ago returned Friday for a two-day festival with a name that sums up their purpose: "We have come back." A busload of people from Oklahoma and other places traveled to Oxford, Alabama, for a celebration in a city that used to be part of the Arbeka community. The people who lived there were forced to migrate west in 1836 during theTrail of Tears, which resulted in many deaths. The land that used to be a village has been turned into a city park with sports fields and a walking trail. At the start of the two-day event, tribal citizens gathered there to tell stories, sing and explain tribal history to area residents. We are trying to reestablish our presence in our homeland. The United States is currently considering how to best interpret a history that includes the enslavement of Black. He said that the history books don't tell you why and how the Trail of Tears happened. We were forced to leave. The Muscogee territory was once among the largest groups in the Southeast. The tribe was kicked out of the region in 1814 after it was defeated at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend. As many as 4,000 died on the journey out of the Southeast, and as many as 23,000 were forced out of the area. The deaths continued after people arrived in Oklahoma. The tribe has about 96,000 citizens and headquarters in Okmulgee, Oklahoma, making it one of the largest in the United States. In the past few years, groups of Muscogee have traveled to the Southeast to visit historic sites, including the Horseshoe Bend battlefield and the Ocmulgee Mounds National Historical Park. She said that the city welcomed the idea of the weekend festival because tribal leaders developed it on their own. She said that a partnership was started years ago when municipal officials discovered artifacts while developing the park on the old village site. The park was visited by a group from the Muscogee Nation, but most citizens have not. This is the first time many people have been here. The principal chief said that the nation wants to do more to connect with the local community. The nation is working on educational programs with area schools, and there are discussions about using city-owned land at the park for a cultural center. He said they would go to them if they could.

The European Union has launched a platform for European Union countries to buy gas and natural gas together, as they seek to cut reliance on Russian fuels and build a buffer against supply shocks.

Spain and Greece had called for a buffer against potential supply disruptions when the EU country leaders approved joint gas buying at a summit last month.
