Download or read book Cherokee Claims for Transportation and Subsistence Special file 154 written by Dawn C. Stricklin and published by Heritage Books. This book was released on 2004 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Treaty of New Echota displaced the largest portion of the Eastern Cherokee, and created massive claims records. Although the majority of Cherokees were left destitute after their migration to Indian Territory, the eighth article of the treaty provided some relief, however minimal, by providing both the cost of transportation and subsistence for one year. To receive these payments, individuals had to prove their Cherokee citizenship. As a result, invaluable affidavits were created by those individuals describing their lives and the lives of their families before during, and after the infamous Trail of Tears. While many of the Cherokee names contained in these records are clearly identifiable in the 1835 Cherokee Census (or Henderson Roll), there are many who are validated tribal members whose names are absent from that census. The first of a set of two volumes, this book guides inexperienced researchers through its pages beginning with the introduction that describes what the records are and how they were created, allowing readers to fully grasp the true value of the documents. Ms. Stricklin helps the researcher understand the transcribed documents contained in the book with three appendices that focus on the Cherokee language and how to understand the transcriptions and extracts, along with how to interpret the accompanying citations. A bibliography, suggested reading list, and complete name and place index are also included, so that researchers can utilize and gain the maximum benefit from the records contained in this publication.--Amazon.com.

Download or read book Tales of the Old Indian Territory and Essays on the Indian Condition written by John Milton Oskison and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2012-06-01 with total page 677 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the twentieth century, Indian Territory, which would eventually become the state of Oklahoma, was a multicultural space in which various Native tribes, European Americans, and African Americans were equally engaged in struggles to carve out meaningful lives in a harsh landscape. John Milton Oskison, born in the territory to a Cherokee mother and an immigrant English father, was brought up engaging in his Cherokee heritage, including its oral traditions, and appreciating the utilitarian value of an American education. Oskison left Indian Territory to attend college and went on to have a long career in New York City journalism, working for the New York Evening Post and Collier?s Magazine. He also wrote short stories and essays for newspapers and magazines, most of which were about contemporary life in Indian Territory and depicted a complex multicultural landscape of cowboys, farmers, outlaws, and families dealing with the consequences of multiple interacting cultures. Though Oskison was a well-known and prolific Cherokee writer, journalist, and activist, few of his works are known today. This first comprehensive collection of Oskison?s unpublished autobiography, short stories, autobiographical essays, and essays about life in Indian Territory at the turn of the twentieth century fills a significant void in the literature and thought of a critical time and place in the history of the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents the story of the Eastern Band of Cherokees during the nineteenth century. This group - the tribal remnant in North Carolina that escaped removal in the 1830's - found their fortitude and resilience continually tested as they struggled with a variety of problems, including the upheavals of the Civil War and Reconstruction, internal divisiveness, white encroachment on their lands, and a poorly defined relationship with the state and federal governments. Yet despite such stresses and a selective adaptation in the face of social and economic changes, the Eastern Cherokees retained a sense of tribal identity as they stood at the threshold of the twentieth century.
