Yes, the Cherokee owned slaves. A lot of them.
The answer comes from the Cherokee themselves, dealing with the issue of this vote. In the 1860's around the time of the Civil War, the Cherokee were the proud owners of about 2,800 slaves.
In the aftermath of the war between the states, Oklahoma was primed to become a full member of the Union.
The Cherokee accepted, as the Blacks had been a part of their society for quite some time, and many of them had already intermarried with "real" tribe members.
Today, the Cherokee see how blacks continue to hopelessly continue to try and steal not only their culture but many others like olmecs,incas and many others. They see the Blacks the same as whites who stole the land.
The obvious issue is whether this is a racist act.
I say it because of the fact they also attack the latino/hispano American people. TO BE CONTINUED.......................................
