The Cherokee Tribe

Though the Chickasaws went without problems, the Seminole Indians did not. The Seminole tribe, which was originated in the Everglades area in Florida, did not want to leave, they stayed in their home and fought for their land. In 1835, after the Indian Removal Act was passed, the Seminoles started the Second Seminole War with the United States army. The battle went on until 1842 and ended with only a couple of hundred of Seminoles left. At this time the United States army said the Seminoles could stay. So even though they lost, it was still a moral victory for the tribe. (Mahone 1998)

Indians helped America in the War of 1812, then got kicked off their land. American leaders weren’t thinking at all! The Cherokees, an indian tribe that lives in Georgia, were asked to move out by Americans, but they didn’t want to; thus, The Indian Removal Act of 1830 was created. Some people were even about to start a war just to get the indians out. The Indian Removal Act of 1830 wasn’t justified for many reasons including that the Cherokees were there first, they saw other indian tribes getting treated badly, and that the supreme court sided with the Cherokees.

They were made of tribes like the cherokee and the seminole. They were just called that because of the fact that they didn't fight much. many of them converted to christianity and started to get american jobs and make schools and roads and stuff. But after the Louisiana Purchase came to town, there was no chance of happiness for these poor indians. The settlers almost forced the indians from their happy life.

At the start of the 1830s Native Americans vastly populated the areas of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and Florida.1 Although, because of Americans wanting the land for their own crop growing and Jackson idea of a perfect nation thousands of Indians were removed from the area they called home.3 Flashback to the year 1830, after being elected in the year 1828 President Andre Jackson made a commitment to remove all Indians in the east and south, and in the year 1830 congress passed the Indian Removal Act.4 The Indian nations of the Choctaws, Creeks, Chickasaws and Seminoles were forced to leave their lands, but none of these tribes were hit as hard as the Cherokee Nation.4 The Cherokee Nation refusing to give

Before 1830 there were around 125,000 Native Americans that inhabited hundreds of acres in five states (History.com). These states were Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina, and Florida. These states had been home to these tribes for years until new settlers

A large group known as the Cherokee Indians were recognized as a separate nation in 1791 by the United States government and therefore did not follow the same laws as the United States. The Cherokee were the last of the Native Americans to give up their land, and in 1819, they stopped ceding land all together. The Cherokee Indians faced great danger from this; however, when farmers began attacking the tribe and forcefully pushing them out of their land. In 1828, the government passed a law that declared all Cherokee Nation rights null and void. In 1829, when gold was discovered on Cherokee land, the government took immediate action, implementing strict policies claiming Indian land, and in 1830, the Indian Removal Act was put into effect (The Trail of

Besides being the only Federal recognized tribe that has not signed a peace treaty, the Seminoles are known for things as Chickee Architecture, Billie Swamp Safari, and the Infamous Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. All these groundbreaking and recognized accomplishments were only cable because of the hard work and dedication from the different tribes that make up the Seminole Nation. That being said, the Seminoles success was also due to opening of smoke shops and high risk gaming in the 1970’s(Cattelino 5). However, with the wealth that has come, it also brings along the Fungibility of money. This Fungibility is what enabled growth with the Seminole people.

Cherokee Native Americans originally inhabited the southeast of the United States. It is believed that they are descendants of that Iroquoian people who were located in the northeastern part of the United States. They broke away from the other Iroquoian groups about 3000-5000 years ago. Their culture began to shift when settlers came over from Europe in the 1800’s. They were introduced to another culture and began to practice many characteristics they learned from the Europeans. For example, many natives stopped wearing their traditional clothing and started wearing clothes that were similar to those of the Europeans.

When the Cherokee resettled, they were a different group with no leaders; everybody became the same during their voyage to new settlement. The Cherokee then became more civilized, and began to fade
