  • Representation for Removal? the Cherokee's Claim to a Congressional
    99 N.C. L. REV. 223 (2020) Representation for Removal? The Cherokee’s Claim to a Congressional Delegate Assessed Under the Canons of Construction* The Treaty of New Echota is the pact between the Cherokee Nation and the United States which served as the legal basis for Cherokee removal via the infamous Trail of Tears. The Treaty of New Echota contains several promises made by the United States in exchange for the Cherokee ancestral land in North Carolina and several other southern states. One of these promises, found in Article 7, states that the Cherokee “shall be entitled to a delegate in the House of Representatives of the United States whenever Congress shall make provision for the same.” Article 7 has been the recent subject of controversy due to its textual ambiguity and historical implications of possible Native American representation at the federal level. These potential ramifications, coupled with the mounting pressure from the Cherokee Nation claiming that Article 7 grants the Tribe an affirmative right to a delegate, warrants an investigation into Article 7’s effect. From its robust body of precedent on Native American treaty interpretation, the U.S. Supreme Court has developed a set of rules called the Indian law canons of construction which federal courts apply when the effect of a treaty involving Native Americans is at issue. This Recent Development sets out to shed light on the implications of Article 7’s delegate promise by applying the canons to its text to ultimately determine whether the United States is legally bound to grant the Cherokee Nation’s request for a delegate in the U.S.
