We are looking for a State Coordinator for Native American History and Research. If you are interested please contact us! CHEROKEE The ancient Cherokee inhabited the area of northern Mexico and Texas before migrating north to the Great Lake area. They were forced back south after being defeated by the Iroquois and Delaware tribes, where they became the largest and most powerful Native American tribe in the areas of the western Carolinas, northern Georgia, and eastern Tennessee. They were an Iroquoian-speaking people. The Cherokee were first encountered by white man when Spanish explorer Hernando DeSoto traveled across the southern area of the "new world" in 1540. Later, in 1715, the Cherokee numbers were greatly reduced by a smallpox epidemic. The Cherokee sided with the British during the Revolutionary War, and did not end their hostilities against the Americans until 1794. By that time, under heavy white influence, the Cherokee became farmers and ranchers. They also became slave holders, and were involved in the cotton and wool industries. Some were dissatisfied with the new agreement, and between the years of 1790 to 1815, about 3,000 members migrated west of the Mississippi River. This group became known as the Western Band of Cherokee. Most members, however, chose to remain behind. In 1827, the Cherokee established a constitutional form of government patterned after that of the United States. Meanwhile. gold had been discovered on Cherokee land, resulting in the state of Georgia entering into a series of fraudulent land-acquiring treaties in an attempt to remove the Cherokee, and confiscate their lands. By 1835, with the Treaty of New Echota, the Cherokee were given three years to relocated west of the Mississippi River. The Cherokee reputed the treaty, refusing to leave. Beginning in 1839, the nation was forced to march to what is today Oklahoma. Although several hundred escaped and fled into the mountain areas of North Carolina and Tennessee, most were drive west. This enforced march, under the direction of Gen. Winfield Scott, resulted in the death of over 4,0000 Cherokee, and is today known as the Trail of Tears.

Publications Faculty Forum The Japanese Ainu and Native Americans By James B. Jordan James B. Jordan Native Americans and Alaska Natives are often at odds with the archeologists, anthropologists, and historians about their origins. Like other indigenous peoples throughout the world, they have origin myths and a common name for themselves, which is usually a variant of "The Original People," or "The First Human Beings." For example, for my tribe—the Choctaw—it is "Okla," the people. The name Ainu means human. On the dark side, both the Ainu and Native Americans have had invaders introduce diseases such as smallpox and cholera, which decimated the population. The Ainu population fell from 26,256 people in 1807, to 15,969 in 1931 ( www.dromo.com/fusionanomaly/ainu.html

That old adage was very much on the minds of 22 Irish men and women who recently repaid a debt owed for almost 150 years. Recalling an act of compassion as poignant as any in Ireland's tragic history, the 22 recently finished a 500 mile, four week re-enactment of the Choctaw Indians' tragic 'Trail of Tears'. In 1847, the Choctaws, despite facing innumerable hardships of their own, dug deep into their meager funds to help victims of the Irish famine. To commemorate that supreme act of charity as well as the historical suffering of Native Americans, the group walked 500 miles from Oklahoma to Mississippi, the "Trail of Tears" in reverse.

SPOTLIGHT ON home CURRENT SPOTLIGHT Angela Walton-Raji Ms Angela Y.Walton-Raji's work on African/Native American genealogy has touched all of us who have roots there. Her expertise, in every area of genealogy, has made her widely accepted in the genealogy field. Angela Y. Walton was born in western Arkansas, and grew up on the Arkansas / Oklahoma border, in the city of Ft. Smith, Arkansas. She attended St. Louis University, where she obtained a degree in Romance Languages, and later earned a Master's Degree in Education from Antioch University. Being an avid genealogist, Ms. Walton has researched her family history since 1975. In 1991, she located her family records among those of the Choctaw Nation, confirming a relationship often spoken about from family oral history. With this discovery, came the sudden knowledge that her great grandparents were African slaves of Choctaw Indians, and that her Walton ancestors were among several thousand Africans who were enslaved by Native Americans, including those who migrated west on the Trail of Tears. She has actively studied these records of the former "Black Indian" slaves, and their children who were eventually given citizenship in the Five Civilized TribesCherokee, Choctaw, Chickasaw, Creek and Seminole Nations.

Choctaw, Sioux and Comanche Codetalkers bill passes House By Jim Kent Washington, D.C – Twenty-four years before the Navajo codetalkers came into existence and 6 years before Native Americans were "granted" U.S. citizenship, there were the Choctaw codetalkers – 18 men from Oklahoma whose imagination and knowledge of their language helped win World War I. Legislation sponsored by South Dakota Congressman John Thune to award Congressional Gold Medals to the Choctaw codetalkers, as well as 11 Sioux and 14 Comanche codetalkers from World War II, passed the House of Representatives on June 18. In a telephone interview just after the House vote, Congressman Thune praised the men and noted that by carrying the Native values of generosity, fortitude, wisdom and bravery with them into battle, they helped America win both wars. He added that recognizing their courage and service to their country is long overdue.
