America's Indigenous People: The Complex History of the Cherokees From the rolling hills of their ancestral lands to the halls of power in Washington D.C., the story of the Cherokee Nation is one of resilience, betrayal, and determination. In this intriguing snapshot of history, explore the encounters between the Cherokees and European settlers through various lenses. Sir Alexander Cumming's engraving captures a moment of diplomacy as he sets out to visit the Cherokees in the 1870s. Yet, the past is never far behind, as the ominous depiction of "The Treachery of the Cherokees" from the same era serves as a stark reminder of the tumultuous relationship between the two peoples. As America expanded westward, the land-rush of the 1800s brought new challenges for the Cherokees. This period was marked by a series of broken promises and violent conflicts, such as the infamous "A Land-rush in the United States. A Minute after the signal," which left many Cherokees displaced and struggling to maintain their way of life. Amidst the turmoil, the Cherokees continued to resist and adapt. Their courage and tenacity were on full display during the Revolutionary War, where they allied with the British against the American colonists, as depicted in "Cherokees Attack British." Join us as we delve deeper into the rich and complex history of the Cherokee people, a story that continues to shape the fabric of America today.
