[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.

Takattokah. June 14, 1839

Gentlemen: The National Council has taken up your proposition of June 13, 1839, and given them due consideration. You state that your wishes are to unite the people. As to that nuttier, it is believed by the National Council that the two people have already been united.

[EDITORIAL]: The Chickamauga Nation had already concluded that by allowing the East Cherokee to live on their lands, that the two had been united on one land.  It was also the conclusion of The Chickamauga Nation that they had treaty title to the lands from the 1828, 1833, 1835 and the 1835 New Echota Treaties.  They were not going to give the East Cherokee the rights to their lands and government, they were going to allow them to live on the land, but not own or govern the land.  They had already determined what John Ross and his genocidal people were capable of and were not going to allow it to happen to The Chickamauga Nation.

Our chiefs have met their brother emigrants, and made them welcome in the country; they are, thereby, made partakers of all the existing laws in the country, enjoy all its benefits; and are, in every respect, the same as ourselves.

[EDITORIAL]: They had the right to live under the laws of The Chickamauga Nation, the traditional laws.  They had the right to live on the land, in the traditional ways.  They had the same rights to exist as every Chickamauga did on the lands, but The Chickamauga Nation was not going to let them bring their colonial government to the traditional ways of The Chickamauga Nation.

Since our chiefs have made them welcome, they have come to the chiefs and taken them by the hand, and expressed great satisfaction with the manner in which they have been received. This is sufficient to justify the belief that the people are, in general, very well satisfied; consequently, the National Council cannot justify the course of keeping up the uniting question, merely to protract a debate, when the uniting of the people has already been fully and satisfactorily accomplished.

[EDITORIAL]: The Chickamauga were done with the debate and tired of the East Cherokee bringing it up again and again.  The matter was settled in the minds of The Chickamauga Nation, no new government.

As it respects your wishes for your original laws, created beyond the Mississippi, to he brought here, brought to life, and to have full force in this Nation, it is believed by the National Council that such an admission is, and would he, entirely repugnant to the government and laws of the Cherokee, Nation which would thereby create great dissatisfaction among the people.

[EDITORIAL]: They did not want the laws created by the East Cherokee because they were developed to punish the traditionalists and prevent the traditional customs and religion which the East Cherokee could not understand since they were not traditionalists.

To admit two distinct laws or governments in the same country, and for the government of the same people, is something never known to be admitted in any country, or even asked for by any people.

[EDITORIAL]: This shows a very good understanding of Western philosophy of government as well as the understanding of their traditional ways and customs.  The Chickamauga were not uneducated, merciless, savage Indians, they were highly educated with some attaining college educations.

A. M. Vann, President National Committee.
Wm. Thornton, Clerk.
Messrs. Ross and Lowry will please receive this as an answer to their propositions.

Respectfully yours,
John Brown,
John Looney,
John Rogers,
Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation.
Messrs. John Ross and George Lowry.”
