Including one instance where they were ordered to massacre a group of unarmed white intruders that they had surrounded, an order they refused to carry out.<br />It's funny to hear some Indian people blame the tribal Freedmen for the loss of Indian land when one looks at this aspect of history.<br /><br />Black Valor - Buffalo Soldiers and the Medal of honor, 1870 -1898<br />Chapter 9<br />pg 121<br />“…After panic struck and terrified Indian agents sounded the alarm, troopers from posts converged on the Sioux reservations.

Yellow Robe Jr.'s play "Grandchildren of the Buffalo Soldiers"<br />I think one statement in his essay is appropraite here:<br /><br />"To be shunned, ostracized, or exiled from one's people has always<br />been one of the most unbearably painful things that a traditional person could ever go<br />through, and before contact with Europeans that kind of treatment used to only be given<br />to people as punishment for the more serious types of crimes. To be punished in such a<br />way for something that is no crime whatsoever, but, instead, a natural condition of birth<br />and something that for all the ages of time before the Jim Crow era was as normal and<br />accepted by traditional Native people as the welcoming of and occasional adoption of<br />strangers, surely brought immeasurable anguish to those who received such treatment.<br />For those of us who have not lived in such a world, only the power of theater can even<br />begin to show us something of what such an experience was really like.<br />http://penumbratheatre.org/downloads/studyguides/GOTBS-Afro-Native_Historiography.pdf<br /><br />For the dis-enrolled, they are living the theater.Allen L.

Burton<br />There were quite a few black lighthorsemen in the Creek and Seminole Nations who became renown. In the Seminole Nation, Freedman Dennis Cyrus was the most noted black Indian police officer. Cyrus served with the Seminole Lighthorse for twenty-five years. Five of those years he held a deputy U.S. marshal commission under Marshal John Carroll at Fort Smith. Cyrus died on December 24, 1912. Other black Seminole Lighthorsemen included Cumsey Bruner, Ceaser Payne, Thomas Bruner, John Dennis and Tom Payne. Ceaser Payne was noted for killing a gang leader in the Seminole Nation named Bob Dossay.<br />In the Creek Nation, Thomas "Tacky" Grayson, a black Freedman was captain of the Lighthorse police for the Coweta District. He was involved in the capture of the Rufus Buck gang and was involved in more than a few shootings during his tenure as a lawman. One other black Creek Lighthorseman of note was Robert Marshall whose reputation was known throughout the Indian Territory. He was murdered in Muskogee on September 10, 1894 by a black criminal named Charles Smith, whom Marshall had caught in the act of trying to steal some horses. Other black Creek Lighthorsemen of the Muskogee District included Tom Kennard, John Miles, John Flowers and John "Cat" Roberts.<br />http://www.coax.net/people/lwf/FIP_PT5.HTMAllen L.

While I am, for the most pat, staying out of the CA indian battles, I would like to comment on specifically the Cherokee Freedmen issue. One must understand that no one is safe from dsenrollment, so long as tribal and federal law is followed. With the Cherokee, our constitution and 1866 treaty is what saved the Freedmen. Were it not for that, they would be disenrolled and there would not really be aything they could legally do. SO here, I guess my advice to the Cali indians is to make sure you are protected by your tribal govt. <br /><br />What makes the Freedmen disenrollment so wrong is that the 90% of Cherokee enrollees who are white with a thin strain of Cherokee Blood (or none at all!) who aer listed on the "by blood" section of the Dawes Roll, want to kick out the Black enrollees with a thin stran of Cherokee Blood. Both groups are mainly he same, with only one exception which is their skintone. Now som Freedmen might want benefits, but that is their rights as citizens: full access to tribal programs. The same could be said abuot the White Cherokee. The whites have exploited their "indian" ctizenship, and when you visit any Cherokee program, you would never think it was an "indian" program because everyone there looks like a white person. <br /><br />The Fullbloods have been marginalized in our own tribe, and we are pushed to the back of the line for everything as our chief currys favor with the white Cherokee who elect him to office, most who dont even live in Oklahoma. <br /><br />Now my opion is that if we had a REAL BQ that cut across all classes of Cheroee Citizens: Freedmen section, 'by blood' section, delaware section, shawnee section,adopted whites, then some of the Freedmen would be disenrolled based on their provable BQ (which can be done using other rolls created by the Cherokee Nation prior to the Dawes). BUT again their protection may be so that they ae the only class who cannot be disenrolled period based on the fact that they are specifically mentioned in th Treaty; this will be decided in court. But eithr ofthese scenarios would also entail many whie thinblods to be disenrolled as well.<br /><br />So anyway, the the White elite who run and control the Cherokee Nation mainly just want to kick out the Blacks period, and it is what they have done. They still eat up all the tribal funding and do not want to share it with anyone but their cronies (we also have a big time nepotism problem)<br /><br />So that is what has happenned in the Cherokee Nation. I think the courts should rule in the Freedmens favor (i they are fair) but Chad Smith is pouring well over $15 mil atlast count to fight them.kuruxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2887382220113280558.post-72533941783862651722010-01-03T22:42:08.843-05:002010-01-03T22:42:08.843-05:00Good article, telling the truth
