Complex Status Of Tribe Of Cherokees In W N C
The Eastern Band of Cherokees in North Carolina faces a renewed federal court review over whether it remains a tribe and whether its Smoky Mountain lands are a reservation or a corporatehold. Judge Webb cites history from Hopewell to New Echota and notes the band's land was self-purchased, not ceded, complicating federal recognition and tribal jurisdiction.
