TULSA, Oklahoma - New signs have been placed along the Midland Valley Trail in Tulsa to help honor and preserve Native American history specific to the area.

The ceremony was full of tradition and significance and former Muscogee Nation Chief James Floyd was at the event to give remarks.

"It is great that we have these types of ceremonies, and we do this type of recognition so that we never forget our presence and our influence here," said Floyd, "This is the old Midland Valley Railroad...You are within the Muscogee Creek Reservation."
