This study examines the period between 1730 to 1790, which saw the
Cherokee people travel the path from a sovereign people allied with
the British to a dependent nation signed by treaty to the American
Civilization program with US government. The author analyzes how,
in between, the Cherokees fought two wars-one with the British
military and one with the Continental Army. A group of Cherokee
peace and military chiefs navigated the journey for the Cherokees
in trying to handle both wars. Ultimately, a break-away group of
young Cherokees, led by Dragging Canoe, led his Chickamauga
Cherokees away from their traditional leaders and into the
battlefield with the Americans. Sadly, all Cherokees paid the price
for the actions of these young warriors. The Cherokees survived
these ordeals and continue on as a people today just like the
rivers that continue to flow through their lands.
