Dawes Agreement Sparks Cherokee Land Controversy and Debate
A Cherokee Nation article critiques the Dawes commission plan, noting mixed-blood delegations control the talks while full-bloods are underrepresented. It questions motives behind town valuations near railroads, hefty per acre costs, and potential displacement of homeowners within a two mile zone, arguing a fairer allocation was possible. The piece cites Muskogee agreement flaws and urges protections for long-established residents. Washington correspondence reports on Indian appropriation amendments benefiting Cherokees and attorney fees.
