Cherokee citizens discussed tribal interests on the street and unanimously supported abolishing their courts. They cited three years of judicial costs in two small districts totaling over 40 000 dollars and argued that removing this expense could help liquidate the Cherokee national debt, which is noted as over 90 000 dollars.
