Is the Cherokee treaty of green river KY a us federal treaty?
I can't find a treaty with 'that name' on it; they can go by different names.
Technically all treaties made with Native Americans before 1776 (the formation of the USA, generally) are a part of American Law through the "Delaware Treaty" (Treaty of Fort Pitt) 1778 and the United States Constitution (US Con. Article 6). Specifically article VI (6) of the treaty accepted all "former treaties" as part of that one treaty; a blanket statement to gain land ownership from other treaties that were not signed by the new USA, but with European governments.
All treaties after that were, for a general rule, formal federal treaties.
It should be noted however that the USA has formally violated all treaties signed between itself and any Indian tribe through acts of US Congress, and the US Court system; "The United States has violated every treaty it ever signed with Indians, and one more time won't matter" - Federal District Court, Northern District of Texas. So even if this treaty is signed by the President of the USA, and in the Treaty Archives, it is a worthless piece of paper.

The original tribes that lived in Florida were the Apalachee, Creek, Choctaw, Calusa, Tequesta, Miccosukee and the Timucua. Although most would associate Florida with the Seminole, the Seminole was actually an alliance of Florida and Georgia tribes who banded together to fight the foreign invaders in the 1700's. Later they became the Seminole sovereign nation. The Seminole and the Miccosukee are the only two federally recognized tribes in Florida now.
