[EDITORIAL]: Throughout this document the Chickamauga and Chickamauga Nation are referred to as the Arkansas Cherokee, the Western Cherokee or Old Settlers.  These terms were used not only by the East Cherokee but the United States government as well.  The United States was too lazy to correct their actions and behavior, all the while the East Cherokee used these names to claim the power, authority, honor, and dignity of The Chickamauga Nation and their traditional customs and beliefs associated with the Mound Building Culture and the Southeast Ceremonial Religious Complex.  The Cherokee had NO Claims to the Mound Building Culture or the Southeast Ceremonial Religious Complex because they are Canadian, Great Lakes, Erie people who were expelled from the Iroquoian Confederacy after the end of the Beaver Wars and eventually immigrated into the Southeast sometime after the mid-1670s and whose Chief, Charles Hicks says they assassinated Lower Town Chiefs and Priest when they arrived in 1705 – 1715.


In National Convention, Illinois Camp ground, July 12, 1839.
‍

Sir: We deem it proper to report further to you, for your information, the proceedings of the national convention in reference to the late excitement.

In order effectually to stop the further effusion of blood, the convention has, by decree, buried all past grievances in oblivion, on the sole condition of the parties giving assurance to maintain the peace in future.

Measures have been taken to inform those persons who claimed protection at the fort of these proceedings so that the collecting their friends to “secure themselves from violence is rendered altogether needless.

These provisions, which are in exact conformity with your wishes as well as with our own, will prove to you our determination to prevent mischief and to promote peace.

[EDITORIAL]: The Convention is agreed to, “in exact conformity with your wishes as well as with our own.”   Does anyone actually believe either George Lowry or George Guess are Chief of The Chickamauga Nation?  They are the hand picked “yes men” John Ross demanded be in attendance.  The Georges would never go against Ross because they knew they would be killed immediately.  

We have the honor to be, sir, your friends and obedient, humble servants,
George Lowry, President,
George Guess, Vice President,
Elijah Hicks, Secretary,
John Ross.
By order of the National Convention.

It was required by this act that the prominent treaty men to which it related should appear at the Illinois Council ground, confess their sorrow for having signed the treaty of 1835 and pledge themselves to live peaceably, upon which event they would be permitted to live, but would be ineligible to hold office in the nation of five years. This act was abrogated on January 16. 1840.
