  • Cherokee Ethnogenesis in Southwestern North Carolina
    The following chapter is from: The Archaeology of North Carolina: Three Archaeological Symposia Charles R. Ewen – Co-Editor Thomas R. Whyte – Co-Editor R. P. Stephen Davis, Jr. – Co-Editor North Carolina Archaeological Council Publication Number 30 2011 Available online at: http://www.rla.unc.edu/NCAC/Publications/NCAC30/index.html CHEROKEE ETHNOGENESIS IN SOUTHWESTERN NORTH CAROLINA Christopher B. Rodning Dozens of Cherokee towns dotted the river valleys of the Appalachian Summit province in southwestern North Carolina during the eighteenth century (Figure 16-1; Dickens 1967, 1978, 1979; Perdue 1998; Persico 1979; Shumate et al. 2005; Smith 1979). What developments led to the formation of these Cherokee towns? Of course, native people had been living in the Appalachian Summit for thousands of years, through the Paleoindian, Archaic, Woodland, and Mississippi periods (Dickens 1976; Keel 1976; Purrington 1983; Ward and Davis 1999). What are the archaeological correlates of Cherokee culture, when are they visible archaeologically, and what can archaeology contribute to knowledge of the origins and development of Cherokee culture in southwestern North Carolina? Archaeologists, myself included, have often focused on the characteristics of pottery and other artifacts as clues about the development of Cherokee culture, which is a valid approach, but not the only approach (Dickens 1978, 1979, 1986; Hally 1986; Riggs and Rodning 2002; Rodning 2008; Schroedl 1986a; Wilson and Rodning 2002). In this paper (see also Rodning 2009a, 2010a, 2011b), I focus on the development of Cherokee towns and townhouses. Given the significance of towns and town affiliations to Cherokee identity and landscape during the 1700s (Boulware 2011; Chambers 2010; Smith 1979), I suggest that tracing the development of towns and townhouses helps us understand Cherokee ethnogenesis, more generally.

  • President Benjamin Harrison, Who Took Office on March 4, Issued the Proclamation on March 23, 1889, Opening the Unassigned Lands
    President Benjamin Harrison, who took office on March 4, issued the proclamation on March 23, 1889, opening the unassigned lands. It is rumored the opening on the lands would be Saturday, April 20, 1889. Being a religious man, Harrison was afraid claimants would be too tired to attend church on Sunday so the opening was reset for Monday, April 22, 1889. A cannon blast at noon and 50,000 men and single women over 21, rushed to stake a claim of up to 160 acres of land. At the beginning Norman, Guthrie, Oklahoma City and Kingfisher were to be the only four towns in the Unassigned Lands. By August there were 27 towns in the Oklahoma district with about 50,000 citizens. Congress passed the Organic Act in December, 1889, setting up a Bill of Rights, a three-part government and appointed executive and judicial officials for the seven counties formed by the Land Run. Legislative officials would be elected by the voters. The 500 plus square miles in this area became Third County. It was bordered on the west and south by the South Canadian River. The northern border was what is now SW 59th Street in Oklahoma City and the east boundary was the Pottawatomie Indian Treaty line, located near present-day 132nd Ave SE in Norman. The bounda- ries were changed in 1891. The other six counties formed by the Land Run of 1889 were Logan, Oklaho- ma, Canadian, Kingfisher, Payne and Beaver. Ten townships formed in the new county after the Run with many smaller communities and crossroads.
