Indians--cherokees

This historical document, "Indians--cherokees," originates from the United States House of Representatives Committee on Indian Affairs and the 26th Congress (1st session, 1839-1840). It offers a valuable primary source perspective on the relationship between the U.S. government and the Cherokee Nation during a tumultuous period in American history. As a product of congressional proceedings, the text provides insights into the policies, debates, and perspectives shaping federal Indian policy in the 1840s.

Researchers and historians interested in Native American studies, 19th-century American history, and the history of U.S. government relations with indigenous peoples will find this a crucial resource for understanding the complexities and challenges of the era.
