The Chickamauga and the Indian Nations Confederacy

‍

In Joining The Indian nations Confederacy in 1776, and in further iterations which never ceased to exist, we Accepted and Agreed with The Great Law of Peace.

The Chickamauga in joining the Indian Nations Confederacy were called Cherokee in that they spoke the Cherokee Trade Language. We know those who joined were Chickamauga in that the du Chat Nation would never be allowed to rejoin the Iroquoian Confederacy.

The du Chat Nation, a.k.a the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma Inc., was expelled from the Iroquoian Confederacy after the Beaver Wars around the 1660s and were driven out of their homelands in Canada, the Lake Erie and Lake Huron area.

There are many things in The Great Law of Peace which are also part of our Cultural, Historical, and Religious Traditions. We can learn about our Culture, History, and Religion when we learn about The Great Law of Peace. The Chickamauga "Charge of a Chief" is almost identical to the Charge in The Great Law of Peace. While not identical, they are extremely close giving rise to a possible shared anthropological connection tied in with Cahokia.
