This book covers a critical event in U.S. history: the period of
Indian removal and resistance from 1817 to 1839, documenting the
Cherokee experience as well as Jacksonian policy and Native-U.S.
relations. This book provides an outstanding resource that
introduces readers to Indian removal and resistance, and supports
high school curricula as well as the National Standards for U.S.
History (Era 4: Expansion and Reform). Focusing specifically on the
Trail of Tears and the experiences of the Cherokee Nation while
also covering earlier events and the aftermath of removal, the
clearly written, topical chapters follow the events as they
unfolded in Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, as
well as the New England region and Washington, DC. Written by a
tribal council representative of the Cherokee Nation, this book
offers the most current perspectives, incorporating key issues of
assimilation, sovereignty, and Cherokee resistance and resilience
throughout. The text also addresses important topics that predate
removal in the 19th century, such as the first treaty between the
Cherokees and Great Britain in 1721, the French and Indian Wars,
the American Revolution, proclamation of Cherokee nationality in
the 1791 Treaty of Holston, and the U.S. Constitution. Written by a
citizen of the Cherokee Nation, the volume provides current,
informed perspectives on the Cherokee experience Provides
biographical sketches that introduce the reader to the key players
on all sides of the event Explains how intensified contact with
Europeans through trading relationships and developing
technological dependency changed Cherokee society and created a new
"global economy" Supplies primary document excerpts that offer
