1.       The Chickamauga Cherokee were a nation unto itself with its own Towns in Northeast Alabama with its own Leaders and Government. A treaty was signed in 1730 with Great Britain by Chief Moytoy and later by Chief Dragging Canoe forming a treaty with Spain. Being supplied arms and power by both governments to carry on the fight for our homelands. The Chickamauga people being made up of mixed bloods of Native Americans from the Cherokee, Creek, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Shawnee and the Black Slaves who had ran away to gain their freedom.

2.       By the middle of the 1700’s the Cherokee Nation and the Chickamauga Nation had totally moved apart and had little to do with each other.

9.       By 1776 the Chickamauga Cherokee were in full war with the United States where we defeated General Harmon in 1790 in the North and then again against General Clair in early 1791. Later we lost against General Wayne but we moved south again to carry on the fight and then moved into North Alabama. By 1812 we were sending warriors to attack Fort Mims with 2000 Creek and Chickamauga Warriors.

10.   The time is at hand when the Chickamauga Cherokee should be recognized as a full Federal Recognized Tribe with full benefits to all our people without censorship by the BIA or by any Federal Recognized Tribes.
