Abstract:
In the colonial period, the French and English competed for the favor of several Indian tribes. One of the most powerful of the Southern tribes, the Cherokee were known for selling furs of great value and were strategically located in upper South Carolina and Georgia, the heart of the western North Carolina Mountains, and in southwestern Tennessee. The Cherokee were sought as allies by both the French and the English and the rivalry between the two for the active aid of this tribe was at its height during of the French and Indian War.

Abstract:
In the summer of 1946, Franklin, North Carolina residents came together to save the sacred Cherokee “Mother Town” of Nikwasi, located in Franklin. History student, Nathaniel F. Holly agrues that although the Franklinites relied on their ideas of the “vanishing Indian” as support for their cause, ultimately, their efforts assisted with the disappearance of these Amerindians. However, the Cherokee Indians never disappeared from the Franklin area and their presence now forces Franklinites to consider the irony of this preservation effort.

8.A Cherokee Migration Fragment by Corkran, David H. Southern Indian Studies Vol. 4 Issue , Oct 1952
Record #:
29104
Author(s):
Abstract:
A fragment of the Cherokee migration story presented to Alexander Long in 1717 is provided and then analyzed. The story’s explanation of the Cherokee migration seems unlikely from a contemporary perspective because of claims about their ancient writing system, their diet, and a migration pattern from east to west. All of these seem unlikely for various reasons, but the author focuses on the migration pattern. However, when considered the geography in the tale from a different perspective, this could be an account of an Indian crossing from Northeast Asia into northwestern North America.
