Abstract:

A distinct difference between the Cherokee and Catawba tribes was their treatment of European settlers. The Cherokees rebelled and fought against encroachment while the Catawba embraced and aided the newcomers. However, allegiance did not save the Catawba tribe. In 1939, their reservation near Rock Hill, South Carolina consisted of 652 acres and a $9,000 state allotment to cover education, health care, and a small stipend to those who lived on the reservation.
