[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.

Council Grounds, June 15, 1839.

Gentlemen: Your proceedings of the 13th instant have been submitted before our Western brethren, as will be seen from the accompanying copy of a letter which we addressed to them; and the result of their deliberation on the subject will be found in the copy of a letter received front them, bearing date of the 14th instant” herewith annexed.
You will no doubt feel the regret and surprise that we do, in relation to the singular views entertained and expressed by the signers of this letter.

[EDITORIAL]: The threat of the East Cherokee is already evident in that they angry that The Chickamauga Nation was NOT willing to discuss negotiations and retained the singular view of The Chickamauga Nation government on The Chickamauga Nation lands.

We deem it our duty to lay before you, at this time, the joint resolutions which were adopted by you, and approved by the people east of the Mississippi on the 21st of July and 1st of August 1838;

[EDITORIAL]: Anything approved East of the Mississippi River, in accordance with the Laws of the Cherokee Nation became null and void when the Cherokee took their belongings and moved West of the Mississippi River.  Their Citizenship was stripped from them by their own laws and the Cherokee no longer had a government nor vested interest in the lands into which they were being allowed to live by The Chickamauga Nation under authority of the New Echota Treaty.

and you, who are the immediate representative of the people, and as guardians of their rights, understanding their interests, and knowing their sentiments, it is your bounden duty to obey their will when clearly and publicly expressed by themselves; therefore, should we fail in our representative capacity to conic to any satisfactory or definite understanding with those who represent our brethren, in the adoption of measures for reuniting the people under some provisional arrangements for the establishing a new government, it will become your duty to consult the feelings and sentiments of the people, and to take steps for ascertaining their will in reference to this important subject.

[EDITORIAL]: The actions of Ross at this point are tantamount to treason.  He is intentionally attempting to overthrow the legitimate and authorized government of the Chickamauga Nation

Respectfully submitted,
John Ross,
George Lowry.
Messrs. Rd. Taylor, President Committee and
Going Snake, Speaker of Council.”‘
The two councils still met at Takatoka, although the meeting places were quite a distance apart and the deliberations of each were absolutely distinct from the other. Upon receiving the above given communication from the Western Cherokee council through Chiefs Ross and Lowry the Eastern Cherokee council answered with:
