Cherokee Nation's long-awaited delegate faces a tribal challenge.
The appointment came after years of research by the Cherokee Nation scholars, who concluded they were promised a congressional delegate in the treaty.
Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians Principal Chief Richard Sneed said in a statement the tribe also believes they are afforded a delegate and vowed to make it happen.The tribes could come together and agree on a single delegate or each appointed their own delegates, Holland said.The Cherokee Nation said the treaty only applied to them and dismissed the claims by the other two Cherokee tribes as false.
"Tribes like the United Keetoowah Band, which didn't even exist until the 1950s, also cannot claim . It is ours alone."Attorney General, said the other Cherokee tribes have no evidence to support their claims to the treaty and falsely argue that the original Cherokee Nation died.
