The Mission of the Descendants of Freedmen of the Five Civilized Tribes Association, a 501c4 tax exempt corporation is to provide education about the History and culture of the African-indian freedmen and their descendants of the 5 tribes . Furthermore, the organization fights against ongoing racial discrimination against the freedmen descendants by using the courts, appealing to Congress and Federal agencies, organizing demonstrations and appealing to the the public to fight for enforcement of 1866 treaty rights to tribal membership including voting rights, rights to hold office, and rights to federal services on the same basis as other tribal members. The freedmen fight against illegal/immoral tribal moratoriums on freedmen descendants tribal registration and fight against disenrollment/denationalization of freedmen tribal members/tribal citizens.
