[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, July 19, 1839,
The National Committee and Council of the Eastern Cherokees having had under consideration the communication from those of the Western Cherokees, cannot but express their regret at the course pursued by their western brethren, as well as the views entertained by them on a question so important and so indispensable to the welfare of the great Cherokee family as the reunion of the two Nations.

[EDITORIAL]: John Ross could orate, but malice and treason are still malice and treason no matter how pretty it sounds when it is spoken.  There is no “great Cherokee family.”  John Ross’ Cherokee committed genocide against The Chickamauga Nation for being practitioners of the traditional Mound Building Culture and traditional Southeast Ceremonial Complex Religion.  There was never going to be peace between two groups of people who hated each other, it was impossible.  Even a few years later, the United States government realized there was never going to be peace because the Cherokee continued to kill the traditionalists of The Chickamauga Nation.

To the assertions made in that communication, that, “It is believed by the National Committee that the two people have already been united,” we are compelled to refuse our assent.

[EDITORIAL]: This is Treason.  This is Treason against the New Echota Treaty, the is Treason against the United States government, and Treason against The Chickamauga Nation.  Maybe Andrew Jackson was on to something when he advised Stand Wattie to have John Ross murdered.  

That the ancient integrity of the Eastern Nation should he dissolved, and her existence annihilated without discussion, without conditions, and without action of any kind, is utterly inconceivable;

[EDITORIAL]: The East Cherokee ceased to exist, it dissolved the very second John Ross voluntarily moved his people to the soil on the West side of the Mississippi River.  There was nothing to discuss, there were no conditions to discuss, there were no actions to be taken, the government and laws of the East Cherokee no longer existed once they crossed the Mississippi.  The End.

and the rejection by the representatives of our western brethren, of the reasonable proposition to unite the two nations on the basis of the strictest rules of justice and equality, is an act equally unhooked for and surprising. Therefore,

[EDITORIAL]: There was nothing for The Chickamauga Nation to talk about.  The “strictest rules of justice and equality” were exterminated by John Ross and the East Cherokee when they voluntarily left the east and took refuge in the lands of The Chickamauga Nation.

Resolved, that the declarations of the general council of the nation, at Aquohee Camp, on the first day of August 1838, in reference to attributes of sovereignty, derived from our fathers, he, and they are hereby, reasserted and confirmed.
Resolved, That the proceedings of the committee and council be forthwith laid before the people, that their sense may be had upon the subject.

[EDITORIAL]: Richard Taylor and Going Snake were at Aquohee Camp, but John Ross was not.  Richard Taylor and Going Snake helped write the laws of the Cherokee Nation and they both knew that anything done legally within the Nation before they crossed the Mississippi River would be null and void the second the crossed.  They knew what they were doing was treason, but they let John Ross continue to lead them in the path of genocide.  Richard Taylor and Going Snake knew that inflaming the people against The Chickamauga Nation would only lead to one thing: the assassination, murder, and continuing of the genocide that began in the 1780s at the hands of Nancy War and then Little Turkey.

A call was issued on June 20th for a “general council” of the people of the eastern and western Cherokees to met at the national council at Illinois Camp Grounds on Monday the 31st day of July, 1839.” It was signed by George Guess and Captain Bushyhead.

On the twenty-first the following notice was sent to Agent Stokes.
