Indians of the Southeast
Some stories portray the Native American population as ignorant savages. This database sets that story to rest. Read how the Cherokee created a written language and created a government similar to the United States in Southeastern Native American Documents, 1730-1842.

.......Select Southeastern Native American Documents, 1730-1842
"This database contains approximately 2,000 documents and images relating to the Native American population of the Southeastern United States from the collections of the University of Georgia Libraries, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville Library, the Frank H. McClung Museum, the Tennessee State Library and Archives, the Tennessee State Museum and the Museum of the Cherokee Indian. The documents are comprised of letters, legal proceedings, military orders, financial papers, and archaeological images relating to Native Americans in the Southeast.
The project was funded by a grant from the Institute for Museum and Library Services (use the browser's BACK button to return to GALILEO). The first 18 months of the Cherokee Phoenix, the first newspaper published in a Native American language, is also available through the Georgia Historic Newspapers database. "
