The Chickamauga Are Under Federal Jurisdiction

Highlighted Text

"To All the Cherokees," It is not possible for the US government to call of the different Tribes by all of their different names so they identified everyone by the Trade Language they spoke, Cherokee. The Example that must be understood is that not everyone who speaks English are British subjects. Not every person who speaks Spanish are subjects of Spain. Not every person who spoke the Cherokee Trade Language is Cherokee.
