What does it mean to be a Georgian? James C. Cobb tried to answer this very question in the beginning of his book, “Georgia Odyssey”. With great wit and testimony, he stood behind the pride that he and others have when defending this great state. However, as he prolonged his discussion unto the introduction and start of the book, readers became aware that there was certain contradiction. You see, Cobb would state that the environment and culture of Georgia would be a specific way, but then turn

In the late 1780’s, U.S. officials asked, rather told the Cherokee people to forget about their own traditions, such as hunting, and other such ways of life to instead learn to be more like Christians and learn to worship and farm like Christians. On November 8th, of 1785 the Hopewell Treaty was signed to constrict the Indians from their own hunting lands for new American people and their own gain.

challenges of the Cherokee Tribe of Oklahoma and their current methods of overcoming said challenges. The concept of fairness is subjective but the overall feeling of our group is that for many years, the Cherokee were not treated with fairness and did not receive the same opportunities to advance after Euro-American colonization. This was particularly evident when treaties and laws were enacted taking away or granting the Cherokee land. While some inequities still exist, the Cherokee have overcome

Who was in the wrong in this story, the White or the Indians? These two races were very aversion towards each other. The hostility between them would bring many deaths on both sides. Men, women, and children paid the price because of the hatred towards each other. It’s a hard dilemma on who is wrong in this story. But I got to say that both races are wrong. One might have stared it, but the other went with it, took it on and no one ended it. Half Arrow, True Sons cousin says, “What have they taken

cultures that we have been learning about and discussing during the course of the semester, the Cherokee have stories explaining the formation of the universe, have a creator, a trickster, and a collection of various other interesting myths. The mythology of a culture results in oneness within the community and a sense of homogeneity that is difficult to achieve by any other means.

Chief Pontiac to Stay or Not to Stay Background On May 31, 2018, Cherokee One Feather, the online newspaper for the Cherokee Nation, posted a letter they had received from a Native American lady, Sabrina Arch concerning the way an Asheville car dealership treated her. When she went to the dealership, Harry’s on the Hill looking for a new vehicle she had thoroughly researched how much this car should cost, and the bank informed her the price was too high.

Government, and consent to a removal to the west” (Memorial of Protest of the Cherokee Nation, pg. 85). This all derived from The Indian Removal act which was put into action on May 28, 1830 even though this act was passed in the 1830s it did take some time for it to go into effect but we can see things start to heat up. During this time the State of Georgia passed a law that required for all white man who live in Cherokee country to take an oath of allegiance to the state of Georgia. We can say that

I picked the topic “The Trail of Tears” because it seems if you asked a typical teenager today what the Trail of Tears means to them, you would more than likely get a simple shoulder shrug. Probably the same response you would receive upon asking an adult of an event that occurred in the fifth grade. If you asked a Native American what the Trail of Tears means to them, you would have a vivid picture of pain, heartache, and disappointment painted for you. It started when President Andrew Jackson wanted

“The Way of a Cherokee” by Foxxy is about her memories and experiences growing up as a young child with her sister, Sierra, and grandpa. She is a Native American that has lived in a world that is different from the world her grandpa grew up in. In addition, she learned to love and appreciate nature just like her grandpa did. I can relate to her relationship with her grandpa because I have created many memories with my grandpa. My grandpa told me stories about his childhood. In Foxxy’s essay she explores

With the prospect of expanding further west, many Americans were interested in gaining authority over lands occupied by the Native American people. Prior to the Dawes Severalty Act, each tribe had communally owned land.
