49: The Cherokee, Part 2: Museum of the Cherokee Indian

In the continuation of our exploration at The Museum of the Cherokee Indian, Hometown History delves deeper into the saga of the Cherokee people and their complex relationship with treaties. In this episode, we confront the stark reality that followed the unfulfilled promises made to the Cherokee. Despite clear proclamations and signed treaties—such as the British's in 1763 and the United States government's Treaty of Hopewell in 1785—settlers continued to encroach upon Cherokee lands. We reflect on the ensuing conflict and strife, underscoring the fortitude and endurance of the Cherokee Nation in the face of unrelenting challenges. As we revisit the trials and tribulations that shaped the Cherokee destiny, join us to honor the legacy and the unbroken spirit of a people whose history is a critical fabric of the American story.
