The Four Mothers Society or Four Mothers Nation is a religious, political, and traditionalist organization of Muscogee Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw and Chickasaw people, as well as the Natchez people enrolled in these tribes, in Oklahoma. It was formed in the 1890s as an opposition movement to the allotment policies of the Dawes Commission and various US Congressional acts of the period. The society is religious in nature. It opposed allotment because dividing tribal communal lands attacked the basis of their culture. In addition, some communal lands would be declared surplus and likely sold to non-Natives, causing the loss of their lands.

dbo:abstract
  • La Societat de les Quatre Mares és una organització religiosa, política i tradicionalista dels creeks, cherokees, choctaws i chickasaws, així com els natchez registrats en aquestes tribus, a Oklahoma. Es va formar com un moviment d'oposició a les polítiques d'assignació de la Comissió Dawes i diverses lleis del Congrés dels Estats Units a la dècada de 1890. La societat és de naturalesa religiosa i s'oposà a la parcel·lació perquè en dividir les terres tribals trencaven les comunitats tribals i perquè les terres «sobrants» eren confiscades i posades a disposició dels no nadius.
