We, the Chickamauga Cherokee Indian Creek Tribe, turn to the public and ask your help to reach our huge goal of 5,000 signatures!!!!!
In the aftermath of the French and Indian War the British government prohibited settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains, laying the foundation of one of the major irritants leading to the Revolution. "We had hoped the white men would not be willing to travel beyond the mountains. Now that hope is gone. They have passed the mountains, and have settled upon Cherokee land. They wish to have that usurpation sanctioned by treaty. When that is gained, the same encroaching spirit will lead them upon other land of the Cherokees. New cessions will be asked. Finally the whole country, which the Cherokees and their fathers have so long occupied, will be demanded, and the remnant of the Ani-Yunwiya, 'The Real People', once so great and formidable, will be compelled to seek refuge in some distant wilderness. Should we not therefore run all risks, and incur all consequences, rather than submit to further laceration of our country?"

we've done a lot to make
sure she's adoptable. She
is still very shy but
very gentle, like her
mama, Kira. Because she

very trusting now of
