Abstract:
Archaeological excavations are currently being carried out in a mountain cornfield located near the east fork of the Tuckasegee River in Jackson County. The cornfield is thought to be the site of a Cherokee Village that once may have contained over 300 houses and that was destroyed in a raid in 1780 by John Sevier. Pottery, stone tools and weapons are among the artifacts that have been recovered. Additionally, several home sites have been excavated, revealing circular fireplaces in excellent condition, with ashes still intact.

Abstract:
Among North Carolina's 100 counties and 650 cities and towns, there is one \"dependent sovereignty\" with a Principal Chief. The sovereignty is the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, proprietors of a 56,000-acre Western North Carolina wooded realm. The Principal Chief is Walter Jackson, born a Cherokee in 1924 and promoted by his fellow tribesmen in 1967 to the highest distinction an Indian can attain. Siler discusses the state's most unusual form of government and how it functions.

Abstract:
Provost recounts incidents in the life of the famous Cherokee chief, Junaluska. He and other Cherokees saved Andrew Jackson's life at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend in 1814; yet when Jackson was President, he ordered the removal of the Cherokees to the West in 1838. Junaluska later returned to North Carolina, a 'chief without a tribe,' and settled in Graham County, where he died in 1858. In 1910, a monument was erected there to his memory.

Abstract:
In response to a claim that there were no Cherokees in Cherokee County, the author provides the location and numbers of all registered Cherokees in North Carolina counties. New definitions of what an Indian may be are examined, as well the challenges faced when registering peoples of Indian inter-marriage as one tribe or the other. Often the government does not recognize the origins of certain groups of people, and therefore may overlook the Cherokees hidden in the mix.
