Angel Ellis

Angel Ellis is a Citizen of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation. She has worked in nearly every aspect of print journalism. Ellis became director of Mvskoke Media in 2020 as the tribe readopted free press statutes. Mvskoke Media was awarded its second Elias Boudinot Free Press Award in 2020. The tribe also adopted its first FOIA law in the same meeting. In 2021, Mvskoke Media worked with tribal lawmakers to iron out a citizen ballot question for the next tribal election. On Sept. 18, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation became the first tribe to usher in a citizen-ratified constitutionally protected press.
