Abstract:
This article looks at the relations between the Cherokee people and white settlers during the early 19th century, and changes to both groups as a result of the interactions between the two. Particular attention is given to the effects of several treaties on the Cherokees, as well as the changes in lifestyle afforded by exposure to the agrarian economy of white settlers afforded by forced relocation, proximity, and trade.

Abstract:
When the Cherokee people were removed to the Indian Territory in 1838, a small amount of them were able to remain in North Carolina. These people are now called the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and make up a minority in Jackson and Swain counties. Their presence has created several legal debates over their status within the state over the years. Between 1898 and 1930, they attempted to participate in general elections to the concern of both Republicans and Democrats. Though they obtained American citizenship in 1930, their ability to vote in local elections continued to cause controversy.

Abstract:
Recent court decisions upheld the contention of the government that the Qualla band of Cherokee Indians in North Carolina are living in tribal relationship and that they are living on a reservation. The principal contention is that the Qualla Tribe does not hold the same status as Indians living on reservations ceded to tribes in the western part of the country. Although this band of Cherokee technically are required to pay federal taxes, they are not however, subject to state taxes.
