Abstract	:	This thesis explores the agency of Muscogee Creek women through the letters of Indian Agent Benjamin Hawkins during the plan for civilization. It finds their voice in methods of resistance and acquiescence through adaptations of both geographic and intangible space, and through forms of consumption. Using the letters Benjamin Hawkins wrote during his time in Creek territory, references to women and their interactions gives some insight into their actions. The thesis found that resistance to cultural change did not always mean total rejection of material and economic advantages. Creek women, through interacting within their own traditional social norms, could express their free will and modify the plan for civilization to their own advantage.
