Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns

In partnership with the state of Georgia, the Braves have collaborated with the Georgia Council on American Indian Concerns on matters related to culture, history, education, outreach and recognition. The Council was created by the Georgia General Assembly and is the only state entity specifically authorized to address the concerns of Georgia's American Indians. It is tasked with fostering the cultural heritage of American Indians in Georgia, advising state and local government on issues affecting American Indians, and assisting with American Indian burial protection and repatriation.

The Council consists of nine Governor-appointed members, five of which are required to be American Indians, and also includes one physical anthropologist, one archaeologist, one other scientist and one at-large member. To learn more about the Council, please click here.

In honor of Georgia Tribe Night, we were proud to recognize members and dignitaries of the Lower Muscogee Creek Tribe, the Georgia Tribe of Eastern Cherokee, the Cherokee of Georgia Tribal Council, as well as members of the Georgia Council on American Indian concerns. Our guests participated in a pre-game ceremony on the Truist Park.
