The 3,000 members of the East
ern Band of Cherokee Indians who
dwell on the 60,000 acre '' reserva
tion" in Jackson, Swain,and Graham
oounties, on the North Carolina
sopj of the Great Smokies, and au
jacent to the Great Smoky Moun
i.uins National Park, are the rem

I that l.ad its stronghold in .It.' niou;.

lized of mil Indian tribes of the tev
; fetory (Of the present United -Stands,
when the white people came; that
was overlord of a$ Eastern Ameri
ca, from Florida capes to PennsyV
kisnia; and that, with tiaaties and
'an offensive and defensive alliance
xtitb their cousins, th? Five Nations,
' ruled aJl east of the leather oi
' Waters with an iron hand.
The ancestors of this remnant,
still living within the bounds of
their ancient domain, Jiid themselves
in the fastnesses of the mountains,
when, 100 years ago, Federal troops
were sent here to remava the entire
nation to Indian Territory. That ex
odus, named "The Trail of Tears",
by the Indians, was provoked by the
iliseoverj' of gold o!> Chwuka1 lands,
in Georgia. That transplanting of a
nation is another story; but the
forebears of the present North Car
olina Cherokees, remained in hiding
until they, through intermediaries,
purchased their G0,0u0 ai.-t
vMLnS'jmmai.ed legoti^tions tc ill"#'
ihent to remain upon their property.
Wlu'e the members of the Eastern
Band of Cherokees are wards of the?
Federal Government, they own their
?R;$:rvation'? lands as tenants in
