ABSTRACT:
A right to a U.S. House of Representatives delegate is provided to the Cherokee nation by the Treaty of New Echota signed in 1835. This treaty-based right comes out of a period of multiple disputes regarding the leadership of the Cherokee people that occurred in connection with, and partially as a result of, the U.S. government’s efforts to force removal of the Cherokee to lands west of the Mississippi River. Rather than being an isolated provision in the New Echota treaty, the right to a Congressional delegate is closely related to rights granted in earlier treaties. In order to assist in the challenge of understanding historical intentions behind such an important right, the original language of the parties involved is incorporated and relied upon.
