           The Arkansas Cherokee; mistakenly regarded by Eurocentric minded historians and modern day provocateurs, of the almost entirely fictional portrayal as lawless renegades who caused discord amongst the different Cherokee towns, Whom later in succeeding years, departed for lands west of the Mississippi, without consent nor the retainment of tribal authority. In response to these ideology’s, we have developed this website, and produced the only thoroughly documented book covering this subject-matter.

Our recorded history:

Chiefs of Nations:
     The Cherokee Nation 1730 to 1839 : 109 years of Political Dialogue and Treaties.
Detailing the truth about the Cherokee Nations political history, featuring hundreds of transcribed and cited quotes from the original records…makes this extremely intimate look into the historical Cherokee Nation…a genuine historical masterpiece.

     The book Chiefs of Nations focuses on the organic political relationships between the various divisions of the Cherokee Nation and other American Indian nations, the European powers, Britain and France, and the United States of America. By utilizing the various federal documents correlated with the various treaties, Chiefs of Nations illustrates these relationships conceptualized as the universal family of nations; by discovering early international relations emergence and evolution thereof by interaction via trade and the aforesaid treaties. Chapter one: “Chiefs Council” explains the inert form of traditional Cherokee government and its relation to its clan based democracy. This chapter also includes the initial agreements between the Cherokee Nation and the British board of trade in 1730. Chapter two: “Transitional wars” investigates the concept of Colonial expansion and the ultimate power struggle for the sphere of influence between France and rival American Colonies and their Indian nation allies that eventually erupted into the French and Indian war; the rival Colonial states transformation from their fictionally legal overlapping boundaries to formally designated boundaries [the pan- Indian nation / Colonial Proclamation line], agreed too at the Indian Nation- Colonial Congress’s of the late 1760’s and early 1770’s]. Chapter three: “A Tennessee State of mind” explores the effects of post revolutionary war Colonial expansion, the Congressional and inter-societal assertions recorded in the 1st through the 6th Congress. This chapter also reveals the degree of leadership of the Cherokee Nation during this trying period. For the first time ever in any Cherokee history book , this book demonstrates the Cherokee Nations quest for the right of self determination through both diplomacy and the policing of their boundaries during the 1780,1790’s and early 1800’s.

     Though this has been exploited and perverted in all other previous books, The Cherokee Chiefs, Dragging Canoe, Little Turkey, Double-head and many others of the then Cherokee National Council, proved their ability to lead by exercising the right to defend boundaries, conduct both internal and external governing activity [treaties and communications], and maintain a very strong and cohesive government; by engaging in treaties with a consistency of Chiefs from all the Cherokee Nations divisions, from 1777; all the components required to full-fill the fundamental criteria under the doctrine of international law, to qualify as a legitimate international personality.

     Chapters four and five “WE THE PEOPLE,” and “ESSENCE OF BETRAYAL,” shines new light on the symptoms for the causes related to the imperialistic rationales of ‘ conquest, ‘ political jurisdiction and transfer of dominion thereof, asserted in by both the States and Congress, under the United States Constitution, regarding lands of the Cherokee and Creek Nations, that now comprise the states of Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, North Carolina and South Carolina and Arkansas.
