Osyio, I started this page to help educate and inform the people in the Americas about present and passed history of the CHEROKEE-NATION-of-THE-(IN)DIANS/NATIVES, also known as Aniyvwiya-Tribal-nation, Principle or first Peoples. The most commonly used phrase, "Eastern band of Indians", refers to the Cherokee, Creek and other Indigenous tribes that did not choose to participate in the horrific action, known only as The Indian Removal Act. The Cherokee, knowing that they would have to use the American court system to support their claim on the land did so. The Supreme Court sided with the Cherokee, but Democratic President Andrew Jackson decided that he and the American Army would follow through, despite the Supreme Courts decision. Some Cherokee fled to the mountains to escape the imprisonment and forceful removal that took place between 1827-1838. Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Kentucky & the Carolinas are still home to many of the tribes descendants that existed back then. Although these Tribes are not considered "Federally recognized" the Constitution of the United States protects those that stand on Treaty Law. Two of the most important are Whitehall Treaty of 1730 ( Articles of Trade and Friendship) between England and the Cherrokee (spelling appearance in Treaty), and The Treaty of Holston 1791 (The Treaty of Peace and Friendship). Some Cherokee community's use the Treaty's as rights of passage & because of the protections of the United States Constitution, it is and always will be, the Law of the Land.
