The '''Poarch Band of Creek Indians''', or '''Poarch Creek Indians''', is an extant tribe of [[Muscogee Creek]] Native Americans that have a [[Poarch Creek Indian Reservation|230-acre reservation]] near [[Atmore]] in [[Escambia County, Alabama]]. The tribe's [[Creek Indian Enterprises]] and [[PCI Gaming]] divisions operate a number of businesses, including the [[Wind Creek Casino & Hotel]]. The Poarch Band, which descends from a group of Creek who sided with the United States during the [[Creek War]], was recognized by the U.S. Department of Interior and the Bureau of Indian Affairs as an "Indian Tribe" on [[August 11]], [[1984]], and is the only federally recognized tribe in Alabama.

The current chairman of the Poarch Band of Creek Indians is [[Buford L. Rolin]].
