Mvskoke Etvlwv: Muscogee Creek Festival is a celebration by the Muscogee (Creek) Nation of Oklahoma of its tribal history, heritage and culture. In this segment, Muscogee members share the unique choral style of Creek Hymnal Singing, which was adapted from hymns brought by Scottish missionaries in the 1800s and sung in the Muscogee language.

The festival was webcast and recorded in the Potomac Atrium of the National Museum of the American Indian on November 15, 2014.
