TNB->Cherokee Indian: Nancy Ward: Military and Genealogical Records of the Famous Indian Woman of Tennessee
Posted on Saturday, December 12 @ 05:08:58 CST (634 reads)

- Book Review:

Nancy Ward was a well known historical figure from the Cherokee tribe born into the Wolf Clan around 1738 at Chota, near Fort Loudon, Tennessee. She was born around the time of a smallpox epidemic that caused the deaths of approximately half of the Cherokee population living at that time.

Her father was Fivekiller, a Cherokee-Delaware man, and her mother was Tame Deer (sometimes recorded as Tame Doe, known popularly as Catherine), the sister of Attakullakulla (also spelled Attacullaculla, or Little Carpenter in English). Her cousin, Dragging Canoe (Tsi'yu-gunsini) became a famous Chickamaugas Chief.

Activists->Peltier,: The fight continues over whether Leonard Peltier should be paroled
Posted on Friday, July 31 @ 23:27:06 CDT (623 reads)

BISMARCK, N.D. - The North Dakota reservation where imprisoned American Indian activist Leonard Peltier grew up has made arrangements to incorporate him back into society should he be paroled, Peltier's attorney said Tuesday.

Peltier is serving two life sentences for the execution-style deaths of FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams during a June 26, 1975, standoff on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. He was convicted in Fargo, N.D., in 1977. He has claimed the FBI framed him, which the agency denies, and he has unsuccessfully appealed his conviction numerous times.
