Poarch Creek Band launches media campaign

Tuesday, January 23, 2007  

The Poarch Band of Creek Indians has launched a public relations campaign to promote awareness of Alabama's only federally recognized tribe.

The "Alabama Natives, Alabama Neighbors" campaign features television commercials. Tribal members talk about their values and way of life.

Gaming is not mentioned in the ads but the tribe is hoping to negotiate a Class III compact with the state. In the alternative, the tribe is working with the Interior Department on approval to operate some Class III games.
