AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Following the removal of the Eastern Cherokees to Indian Territory in Oklahoma in the winter and spring of 1838-1839, this article focuses on the various problems that developed between the settled Western Cherokee and the newly arrived emigrants from the southeastern states. Scenes of violence and bloodshed were frequent, and the Cherokee nation as a whole was much divided. The author describes the continual factionalism in the Cherokee Nation through the American Civil War period up to 1907 when the tribal government was dissolved by the establishment of the state of Oklahoma.
