Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee
Nation."
What's interesting to me in looking-I like history a lot,
and looking at old historical documents-is to see that
in the 1840s there was still a significant number, not
the majority or anywhere near the majority, but there
were a significant number of people in this country that
were still questioning whether Indians were human, or
whether Indians had souls, when we and many other
people like our tribe had been running our own
governments for a long, long time.
