In 1901 the Crazy Snake Uprising peaked at Hickory Ground, a Creek tribal town. In 1895 the town had a population of 343, which ranked eighth among the forty-eight Creek towns.

Originally, the opposition was led by Lahtah Micco, the leader of Hickory Ground.

Harjo's speeches attracted attention, marking him, to outsiders, as the most visible of the dissenters.
