Cherokees Buy Seven Million Acres Under 1834 Treaty
The Cherokees acquired seven million acres described in the 1834 treaty as US guarantees of possession forever. The territory runs from Arkansas river to Missouri and beyond, with a perpetual western outlet. Attorney Hastings argues deeds transfer rights to all allottee lands, while surplus lands may revert to the US. Cherokee delegates, led by W Peak and Jim Hilderbrand, seek to halt salaries and ensure funds reach Cherokee beneficiaries amid disputes over administration and funds.
