First People of Tennessee
In posting Cherokee related queries, let me offer some assistance.
- Be as specific as you can about place of residence. The board is responsive to questions about the Cherokee Nation - which is now located in OK, but which at one point was in TN and the adjacent southeast.
- Don't assume that the reader knows you mean "Dickson county, TN", when it might just as well be Dickson county, Alabama or Texas.
- Read the historical information posted on the First People of Tennessee Project site. Be as specific as you can about the who, where and when you are inquiring of. Know this. The Cherokee had surrendered all their lands in TN and were removed *as a people" by 1839. The Chickasaw too were removed by that time. Both Nations had and continue to have laws about who they - Indian people themselves - consider to be "Cherokees" or "Chickasaws."
