You may be referring to Native American property ownership under Federal Indian policies during the 1800s. Those policies resulted in the unintended weakening of already weakened tribal structures and the loss of most Indian lands to whites. It is reported that whites owned two thirds of this Indian land by 1932. The Dawes Act of 1887 was devised as a way to "civilize" the Indians by converting them the the American way of life or farming. Native Americans had to register on a tribal roll and were given allotments of land beginning with the "head" of a family receiving a one-quarter section with individuals receiving amounts down to one-sixteenth section. The US held those interests in trust for 25 years. The trusts eventually held land and money and have been tragically mismanaged with millions of dollars that were never paid to the Native Americans. In the end the program was a terrible disaster with lawsuits still being argued over the mismanaged trusts. This is a complex and expansive topic. You can use the key points in these comments to perform further research. See also the link for several definitions that discuss "headrights".

Yes. But it is most frequently by choice. Native Americans may honor their tribal culture by living some of the time in traditional structures. Other times, a tipi (tepee) is a temporary lodging when there is no alternative available.

The cherokee (along with other tribes) were relocated from southeastern US to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in which they have to travel long distance. Their homes were burned and their properties were destroyed. Farms were given to settler through Georgia Land Lottery. They were however promised 5 million dollar for the land.

During the relocation, many Indians were exposed to disease, starvation and cold where 4000 out of 15000 Cherokee died. Some were killed along the way.

There are some tribes like Oconaluftee, Cherokee from Nnantahala area and the ones who married with white who were allowed to stay.

The largest Indian Reservation in the US, in both square miles and population, is the Navajo Indian Reservation with 24,096.30 square miles and a population of 180,462 in the 2000 census.

Children played the same type of games that modern children would under the same setting. There were mock hunts, informal Lacrosse type games, and about any other type of play within the moral limits of the tribe. There were formal games that were actually teaching tools for the young to become adults (too numerous to list, and without context would not make much sense).

The Tsalagi (Cherokee) moved because of forced relocations and pressure by settlers. Originally the tribes were located around the modern states of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Carolina, and Kentucky. Please note that this is general locations as there was no 'borders' as exist today.

During the "Relocation" era, they were forced off their lands and given land in Indian Territory, what is now known as Oklahoma.

Currently there are three main locations for the Tsalagi people; Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Before the Getsikhuda Anegvul (Trail of Tears), Tsalagi lived primarily in Georgia and Alabama, but White Man forced them out to build their own colonies, and they spread out around Tsiyahi (Oklahoma) and Northern Texas.

The Cherokee were anything but nomadic. In fact they even had 2 types of houses! One for summer made of wood, and a smaller winter one called an asi that was round with a fire pit in the center.

The Cherokee lifestyle was one very dependent on community. Our ancestors were hunter/gatherers/farmers who lived either in earth shelters or log homes. They had a strong sense of national pride and were very concerned about their morals and religious life. It is important to remember that they were also a Matriarchal society (meaning the women owned everything, and the tribal clans followed the womans linage). However the women had no voice (at least publicly). This stayed true to the balance that every member attempted to maintain.

by weaving their fecies and other things such as leaves twigs ang=d grass togehter.

The 1960's were probably just like the 1960's maybe just a little different. Yes, the woman were poor but their husband's were usually rich so what was the difference. Check the roles of woman in the 1950's because the 1950's and the 1960's are very much alike.

All 5,000 of them, although the US Government refuses to recognize the existence of more than 512 of them because the other 4,488 refuse to submit (surrender) to the United States and become a political subdivision of that nation.

yes they grew most of the same crops grown today (with the exception of wheat and tomato's) and they cultivated fruit trees; the paw-paw being one of the favorites, as well as berry bushes by intentionally distributing the seeds when they traveled. A partial list of crops: Squash, pumpkin, other gourds, strawberries (there is even a story for that one), corn, beans, potatoes, some rice, tobacco and Hemp (Please note that this is not necessarily marijuana - hemp was used for everything but smoking, tobacco was used for smoking).

Farm houses in the early 1800's, in the North East at least, had second stories (sleeping area's) that had much lower ceiling's then the first floor, and all bedroom doors faced the stairs. This was because the heating system, wood stove and or fire places where on the first floor. The heat would rise and to keep the sleeping area's as warm through the night as possible the ceiling were lower to keep the warm air close to the person. Also the Farm houses were built in sections. These sections were built on as the family grew.

The homes had no electricity and using oil lamp's sparingly, due to the cost of oil. Most were made out of wood, some were made using stone and or mud. Most had a small basement, that was used for hanging meat and for storing canning in cool dark area's

That was the Cherokee Trail of Tears - the only one history seems to want to remember. However, there truly were many, many trails of tears for the American Indian tribes.

Native American tribes that are from North Carolina include Saponi, Eno, Chowanoc, and Tutelo. Recognized tribes include Coharie, Sappony, and Meherrin.

Hi

Before the arrival of horses in the Americas, the tribes of the Sioux had no word for that animal. When they first saw horses they invented a new word that literally means "mystery dog": shunkawakan.

The old Cherokee capital of New Echota is located in Gordon county Georgia, currently there is a Federal Park and Historical site there.

We established Cherokee language immersion schools, master artisans for each of the Cherokee traditional arts and crafts, satellite communities in areas outside the Cherokee Nation where Cherokees may meet and learn about their culture, The Cherokee Phoenix -- the oldest American Indian newspaper in the U.S., now also available online, a written syllabary language invented by Sequoyah, traditional stickball (the forerunner of LaCrosse) and marble games, annual Hog Fry events, and the annual Cherokee Homecoming event in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, to name a few.
