1791, July 2: The Treaty of Holston was a treaty between the United States government and the Cherokee signed on July 2, 1791, and proclaimed on February 7, 1792. It was negotiated and signed by William BLOUNT, governor of the Southwest Territory and superintendent of Indian Affairs for the southern district for the United States, and various representatives of the Cherokee people, most notably John WATTS. The treaty established terms of relations between the United States and the Cherokee, and established that the Cherokee tribes were to fall under the protection of the United States, with the United States managing all future foreign affairs for all the loosely affiliated Cherokee tribes. It is unfortunate that this treaty lasted for less than a decade. In 1798, the Cherokee were made to cede lands illegally settled by whites within the Cherokee Nation boundaries.
