I was proud to hear him say ,we are proud to show you that we are still here , they removed mu ancestors in 1838 from Alabama and I was born Cherokee in Alabama in 1969 ,,,yes brother we are still here and we are NOT going away , proud to be Cherokee
I grew up on Sand Mountain nearby and oral family history stated that we were decedents of Cherokees who stayed and escaped the soldiers. I remember always going to Noccalula Falls and watching cherokee pow wow. I have no proof. I’ve never been able to find ANYTHING other than you to support the oral history. No historical documents, no censuses, nothing Thank you, my search continues but you have invigorated my search
I actually like Chattanooga the way it is. I appreciate the attention. Also, when you talk to some of the some tourists, they tell interesting stories about where they come from. Whether it is a Florida, California, or even Europe. One day, I talked to a woman downtown who said she was visiting from France. It's also worth noting that the tourism rakes in a lot of money for the city.
Well add Red Clay to the list of places I need to go to. I just recently went to New Echota and Blythe Ferry. Also never knew that water stairway was beside the aquarium, been there a few times and never even knew it. Now I gotta go back and to also see Ross's Landing
DNA has been done. We have no American Indian blood. Our ancestors were from Scotland and settled in Northern Virginia then after War Between the States moved to Kentucky. The John Ross family with Cherokee ancestors were remarkable people from Tennessee.
Chief John Ross and his wife and children were deported in the "Trail of Tears" west along with hundreds more. His wife a devout Christian along with hundreds of others are buried along that trail. A soldier tasked with the removal later wrote his account of the removal in which he describes his sadnes and how the soldiers tried to help the people who had inadequate supplies and blankets in the cold journey. He mentions Mrs.Ross as a lovely Christian lady and her illness and death.
Hi. I found out John Ross was my great great so forth uncles father in law. Which is cool but after reading the history about his ppl being on trails of tears I was utterly mad how they were forced to be removed
Both lives matter!!!! Each group of people have gotten the short end of the stick! There land was taken away from them and African people were made to come to this land not of their own free well, and yet both groups of people (some of us/them anyway) are still being treated like 💩 #onelove
Same diff. The US cooperation, doing business as, has reclassified and removed ‘blacks’ who were Indians and replaced them using force and continued paper genocide many hundreds of years after.

Proud of my Cherokee roots
I live on the Knob!! Proud to be from Chattanooga. Love my history
Just visited Chattanooga. Fascinating place. I kinda like it more than Nashville
The Ross party was correct, they should have never left their land
Reclassified in the ROSS STOCKADE. Somehow the “Cherokee” are Scottish? I can trace back to Dornoch Scotland 🏹. WE ARE STILL IN TENNESSEE 🏹🏹🏹

Just found I’m a Scottish descendant I’m guessing of his parents
I live just a minute from the John Ross house and have all my life. 😄

Why are blacks complaining ? why do they say black lives matter ? What about the indians lives matter !!!!!
Both lives matter!!!! Each group of people have gotten the short end of the stick! There land was taken away from them and African people were made to come to this land not of their own free well, and yet both groups of people (some of us/them anyway) are still being treated like 💩 #onelove
I'm Native American and Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians. It's rough out here regardless. No need to drag the other down because we're all down.
