Ethonology, is well supported. The
Cherokee dominated the south-!
eastern Allegheny region, controll
ing over 40,000 square miles of ter- j
ritory and claiming more. Their!
population at the time of the be-'
ginning of European colonization
in North America is estimated at
from 15,000 to 20.000.
Following the disastrous wars of
the Revolutionary Period t h e
Cherokee made great progress. One
of their tribesmen, Sequoyah, in
vented an alphabet, and soon there
after the entire tribe became liter
ate. They published a newspaper.
Children of prominent families
were sent to schools and colleges
beyond Cherokee county. From
Old Salem in North Carolina went
missionaries of the Moravian
Church in 1801, followed by ser
vants of the gospel of other relig
ious denominations.
Gradually the lands of the Tribe '
were reduced by treaty, sale, or .
fraud. When gold was discovered .
in Georgia, there was a grand rush
for Cherokee land in that state.
Oppressive laws were passed pain
fully restricting members of the
Cherokee nation. Finally the gov-,
ernment decreed that the Chero
kee should be moved west, and in
1838 they were forced to leave their
homes.and take the long trail to
Oklahoma. Some of the Indians
led to the mountains and took
refuge in the Great Smokies, where
no one could drive them out or
?apture them.
When the government found that
it could not control these fugitives,
in agreement was made that the
refugees be allowed to remain in
?forth Carolina and be given th?
aine compensation that was paid tc
hose wlio were removed to Indiar
rerritory, $53.33 1/3 each, plus ac
?rued interest. Colonel Will H
rhomas, a friend of the Indians
tandled their funds for them, slnci
' they could not legally make con
> tracts. He bought with their money,
i 50.000 acres of land in the region
- of Oconolufty River and Soco
? Creek. Here they were established
s and became known as the Eastern
? Band. 1
During the War Between the
States, Colonel Thomas organized
a regiment of Indians, known as
the Cherokee Legion, that served
until the end of the war. When'
Colonel Thomas, on account of im-J
paired health, was no longer able
to administer the affairs of the
Indian reservation, there was dang
er that the land might be sold, but
the United States Government
came to the rescue and secured the
property for the Indians so that
Qualla Reservation was guaranteed
to them. The first Indian Agent
was W. C. McCarthy in 1875. Later!
the tribe incorporated itself
Today the land is assigned to
families of iho tribe. A chief is
elected each two years and a tribal
council is held rcRularly. The)
government provides many free
services, including health, roads,
forestry, extension and soil conser
vation. fndian children are given
opportunity for education at the
government schools. Most of the
Indians are farmers and till the
soil allotted to them by the tribe.
Some of them follow arts and crafts
practiced for generations, such as
basketry and pottery-making. An
annual fair is held that attracts
many visitors. In addition to the
exhibits, the Cherokee ball game is
a banner attraction. Although it
has lost much of its ceremonial
significance, it is still played with
the dash and danger that appeal
to the large crowds attending.
The American Indian contribut
ed the largest proportional racial
| group in military and naval service
~
during World War II, and the
Cherokee claimed their high pro
portion. Their American Legion
Post, named for Steve Youngdeer
a hero of World War I, proclaim;
their loyalty to Uncle Sam in war
time and is active in service of the
tribe. About 3,000 Cherokee oi
the Qualla Reservation in the Great
Smokies of North Carolina and
Tennessee are loyal representativ
es of the first families of America
What's a Mountain Vacatio n Without Square Dancing?
Saturday night is usually square dance time in Western North Car olina dude ranches, but a dance is likely to break out any time dude
ranching couples collect. This picture was taken in the spacious lou nge at the Cataloochee Ranch. (Photo by John G. Hemmer).
