Cherokee Indians

Well, they would have probably felt good about it because they invented it .


Whomever wrote the above answer is sorely mistaken and not surprisingly, misinformed.
While there are many different nations with people who have different beliefs and attitudes, the subject of Thanksgiving is not a happy one for most American Indians, as you might guess. Most people I know have adapted the patriotic songs and stories of "Americans", such as "Land of the Pilgrim's pride" , to include indians.

Quite frankly, the stories told in elementary school history and social studies are not true. The first Americans are not happy that more than 60 million of their ancestors were wiped out. The Jewish holocaust (=bad Nazi, in public opinion) was nearly 6 million. The American holocaust (=good American) was over 60 million.

For my family, Thanksgiving was a time when everyone had time off of work/school, so we'd get together as a family, but we also remembered our ancestors who died in the name of the European God. Thanksgiving, for us, is a way of life, every day. It is not just one day where we feast. Columbus Day, as you might imagine, is not celebrated, either.

the trail of tears was actually a 800 mile march that was forced upon the native americans.... they were forced to go to a native land wich is now known as oklahoma.

if you have more info then PLEASE add on to this....

congested, arid, humid or wet

They would trade metal, knives, fish, and other things other tribes couldn't get.

The Cherokee are an American Indian Nation, that wasoriginally from what is now much of the southeastern United States, Cherokee lands used to be almost all of Tennessee, much of North Carolina, and also spread through Virgina, Georgia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama and South Carolina. Cherokee had a unique culture, and are the largest Indian Nation today. The Cherokee traditional Religion has been said to be the most like the Abrahamic Religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) out of all other religions known. Cherokee were fearsome and skilled warriors, known throughout the lands, the historic "arch rival" Nation to the Cherokee were the neighboring Chickasaw. Seven clans made up Cherokee society, Cherokee were born into your mother's clan and they could not marry into their mother's clan, this custom kept you from marrying relatives. Cherokee made fairly advanced homes, and the capital was Echota, no crime was allowed here. Cherokee were involved in a terrible episode known as the Trail of Tears, and it is probably the most well known point in time throughout Cherokee history, was when the United States government forced the Cherokee out of their Native lands after they had assimilated quite well for the most part with the invading races of men. They were forced into Oklahoma, well over 4000 Cherokee died on this Trail of Tears, however a large amount of Cherokee took refuge in the Smokey Mountains and escaped removal. In spite of this Cherokee culture has lived on, today most Cherokee live in Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Carolina. But they have spread throughout much of the USA, and intermarried with many other groups of people.

White southerners wanted the native americans 'Valuable land

President Andrew Jackson (1829-1837) pushed for and signed into law the removal act, he administrated the removal for all but the last year or two of the removal; Martin Van Buren (1837- 1841) finished the work.

Sequoya

By fighting.

The Seminole tribe for instance fought a full out war against the American Government. But the Native Americans were not entirely alone in their fight against the Removal Act, congress debated aggressively over the controversy of the issue splitting it almost in half, but eventually it passed.

Some would fight off soldiers to flee and sacrifice themselves so other Natives from their tribe could stay. The Seminole refused to leave and started a war called the Second Seminole War. Another war caused by refusual to leave was the Black Hawk War.

what type of cloths did native americans wear

In most tribes the men wore a long rectangular piece of cloth under a belt, known as a breechcloths, with leather trousers. Though, in some tribes men wore a short kilt or fur trousers. Most women wore skirts and leggings.In some Indian cultures women's shirts were optional and were usually treated more like coats, while in others, women always wore tunics (like a long dress) in public. Though in some tribes, women wore one-piece dresses instead.

Social, as well as cultural disintegration occurred. The Europeans introduced their own forms of religions, and various other aspects of European culture. Because the Cherokees had a very coordinated economy/government they were able to "fuse" themselves for a very long time to the uprising European juggernaut. However, when the time came for the Cherokees to take a side in the Revolutionary war things got nasty.

Occasionally the Native Indians would "harass" the railroad. The livestock would be shot at, stations terrorized, and work crews could be shot at. Twice Indians sabotaged the rails and also a Cheyenne raiding party tried to derail a train, killing g all the crewmen apart from one, who was scalped. Another tribe called Sioux tried and killed two crewmen. However one tribe, the Pawnee Indians, welcomed the train, protected it from the Sioux, and allowed a railroad to run on their land. In return they were given work on the trains.

No "case" led to the passage of the Indian removal Act; however 2 cases resulted from this act. Most important was Cherokee Nation VS Georgia 30 US 1, 5 (1831) (see links) and Worcester VS Georgia 31 US 515 (8 L.Ed 483) (1832).

The same thing that your ancestors called it, they called it "Magic." That someone could "write" a word, and another could come along much later and read it - IE: Know what was said there and before their time.

Due to the complexity of treaties among various U.S. tribes, all treaties have been violated in some form. Some treaties get ratified and other treaties don't by the House/Senate which causes more confusion among parities. Choctaw The Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek was violated as many Choctaw were not registered with U.S. Agent Ward when they wanted to sign-up for 640 acres of land under Article 14. Article 22 did not materialize and violated; Choctaws wanted a U.S. Representative in the House of Representives. This treaty is considered to be a "live" document rather than historical by the Choctaw. The Treaty of Washington City gurannteed an annutiy to be paid for for the sum of $6000 dollars forever. This term has likely been violated. Sioux (Lakota) The 1868 Treaty of Fort Laramie guranteed the no mining on Indian land; this was violated when gold was mined in the Black Hills. This treaty is a "living" document. In 1980, the U.S. Supreme court ruled that the Sioux was entitled compensation.

The "Cherokee" were only one of 5 tribes involved in the Trail of Tears. Most note them as they were the last moved and had the highest death rate of all the tribes moved. The related question (noted below) gives better detail of what, where, and when as there is no 'place' per se.

Kiowa women wore long deerskin dresses painted with yellow and green tribal designs.. Kiowa men wore breechcloths and leather leggings, and usually went shirtless. The Kiowas wore moccasins on their feet, and in cold weather, they wore long buffalo-hide robes. Later, Kiowa people adapted European costume such as cloth dresses and vests, which they decorated with fringes, ribbons, and fancy beading. Here is a site with pictures of Kiowa outfits, and some photos and links about Indian clothes in general. Kiowa Indian men didn't wear long warbonnets like the Sioux. Sometimes they wore turban-like hats made of otter pelts. Traditionally, Kiowa people only cut their hair when they were in mourning. Kiowa men wore their hair in braids, sometimes with a forelock or pompadour in front. Sometimes they wrapped their braids in fur. Kiowa women wore their hair either loose or braided and wore tribal tattoos on their foreheads. The Kiowas also painted their faces for special occasions.

That would be totally subjective. If a tribe was fighting for their families, they would be unbelievably fierce. The Pequots were known to be fierce fighters. So were the Cheyenne, the Apache and the Commanches. There were thousands of tribes that, given the right time and circumstances, would have been called the fiercest fighters.

Native America will be less than one hundred people.it is less than one hundred

people because long ...long ago white people kill native America and then they want native America to move to oklahama.when they move there they killed native America again.last president tell the native America that "there are free place to live so now native America live in the middle part of united states.

The 3rd weekend of August the Crow host the Crow Fair. Billed as the "Tipi Capitol of the World," natives and non-natives alike gather along the Little Bighorn River to celebrate native culture in Montana. another thing about crow indians is that the boys and girls help make there teepees and the boys hunt

while the girls make clothes

In 1838, the gov't ordered the forceed removal of Cherokee from their homes to be relocated in what is now today Oklahoma. About 2,000 Cherokee died in camps waiting to be moved while another 2,000more died of starvation, disease, and exposure on the journey. Few apposed the hars treatment. The Trail of Tears showed how cold and heartless the gov't could be to get what it wants and how much the citizens would let things like this slide.

or Forced migration.
