A statue, seen from behind, depicting Chief Tomochichi, a Muscogee native who signed the 1733 treaty that launched the Georgia colony, stands at a temporary location in Atlanta, Dec. 20, 2021. The statue was intended for a park honoring civil rights figures, but Muscogee Nation historians call their ancestor a traitor who was complicit in genocide. They also say the statue is inaccurate — he would have been fully clothed, not clutching a bear pelt. (AP Photo / Michael Warren)
