Gaming and chiefing. Imposters and freedmen. Distinguished novelist
Robert J. Conley examines some of the most interesting facets of
the Cherokee world. In 26 essays laced with humor, understatement,
even open sarcasm, this popular writer takes on politics, culture,
his people's history, and what it means to be Cherokee.Readers who
think they know Conley will find an abundance of surprises in these
pages. He reveals historical information not widely known or
written about, such as Cherokee Confederate general Stand Watie's
involvement in the infamous Reconstruction treaty forced upon his
people in 1866, and he explains his admiration for such characters
as Ned Christie and Henry Starr, whom some might consider
criminals. From legendary figures Dragging Canoe and Nancy Ward to
popular icons like Will Rogers to contemporary ""Cherokee
Wannabes"" - people seeking ancestral roots whether actual or
fanciful - Conley traces the dogged persistence of the Cherokee
people in the face of relentless incursions upon their land and
culture. ""Cherokees are used to controversy,"" observes Conley;
""in fact, they enjoy it."" As provocative as it is entertaining,
Cherokee Thoughts will intrigue tribal members and anyone with an
interest in the Cherokee people.
