PT 2 OF INDIGENOUS ENCOUNTERS The Cherokees and Indian Removal

Cherokee Origins 1. How The World Was Made 1. How The World Was Made Remember, the purpose of a creation story is to explain natural phenomena, the existence of plants, animals, and geographical features and to explain the importance of certain ceremonies and customs.

Sequoyah and the Influence of WhitesInfluence of Whites Born in the 1770s in the Cherokee village of Tuskegee on the Tennessee River, Sequoyah was mixed with a mother, Wureth, who belonged to the Paint Clan. Sometimes the young man was known by his English name, George Gist or Guess, a legacy from his white father. Sequoyah, reared in the old tribal ways and customs, became a hunter and fur trader. He was never learned to speak, write or read English. However, he was always fascinated with the white people’s ability to communicate with one another by making distinctive marks on paper - what some native people referred to as "talking leaves".

Treaties and Removal Acts During the 1780’s, the new American government contracted its final treaties with Native Americans of the trans-Appalachian interior, including the Wyandotte, the Delaware, and the Cherokee. The treaties were necessary to complete the peacemaking process at the end of the Revolutionary War, because most of the interior tribes had sided with England. The treaties were also intended to open Trans- Appalachia to white settlement.

Traditional Tribal Lands Cherokee Territory After Treaties

Significant Cherokee Treaties Treaty of 1721

The Document Andrew Jackson The Indian Removal Act was signed into law by Andrew Jackson on May 28, 1830, authorizing the president to grant unsettled lands west of the Mississippi in exchange for Indian lands within existing state borders. A few tribes went peacefully, but many resisted the relocation policy. During the fall and winter of 1838 and 1839, the Cherokees were forcibly moved west by the United States government. Approximately 4,000 Cherokees died on this forced march, which became known as the "Trail of Tears." The Indian Removal Act Primary Document---Indian Removal Act

Primary Account of Removal Anderson, Lilian An Interview with Lilian Anderson Eufaula, Oklahoma Life story of her grandfather, Washington Lee, Cherokee Indian In 1838, my grandfather, Washington Lee, came to the Territory and stopped at Westville. He was driven from his home in Georgia over the Trail of Tears with all the other Cherokee Indians and while on the trail somewhere he lost his father and mother and sister, and never saw them any more. He did not know whether they died or got lost. The Cherokees had to walk; all the old people who were too weak to walk could ride in the Government wagons that hauled the food and the blankets which they allowed to have. The food was most always cornbread or roasted green corn. Some times the men who had charge of the Indians would kill a buffalo and would let the Indians cut some of it and roast it. The food on the Trail of Tears was very bad and very scarce and the Indians would go for two of three days without water, which they would get just when they came to a creek or river as there were no wells to get water from. There were no roads to travel over, as the country was just a wilderness. The men and women would go ahead of the wagons and cut the timber out of the way with axes. This trail started in Georgia and went across Kentucky, Tennessee and through Missouri into the Territory and ended at Westville, where old Fort Payne was. Old Fort Wayne was built to shelter the Indians until some houses could be built. Aunt Chin Deanawash was my grandmother's sister and she came from Georgia on the Trail of Tears. Her husband died shortly after they got out of Georgia and left her to battle her way through with three small children, one who could not walk. Aunt Chin tied the little one on her back with an old shawl, she took one child in her arms and led the other by the hand; the two larger children died before they had gone so very far and the little one died and Aunt Chin took a broken case knife and dug a grave and buried the little body by the side of the Trail of Tears. The Indians did not have food of the right kind to eat and Aunt Chin came on alone and lived for years after this.

Legacy The Trail of Tears and the treaties signed between the U.S. Government continue to influence American culture, especially here in Oklahoma. Many towns and cities have names associated with tribes that were removed to “Indian Territory” during the 19 th century. Tribal governments such as the Cherokee and Muscogee Nations contribute millions of dollars to Oklahoma’s economy through gaming, manufacturing, and tourism. Most Americans claim Native American ancestry whether they actually have it (and tribal membership) or not.
