  • Nancy Ward (Nanye’Hi)
    Nancy Ward (Nanye’hi) The grave of Nancy Ward located near Benton, TN. Ward’s grave was unmarked until 1923 when the Chattanooga chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a stone pyramid and installed a fence to protect the gravesite. Recent efforts have yielded the site as being signified as a Tennessee State historical site. With the exception of the Cherokees, Native American women generally were excluded from governmental affairs. Some Cherokee women were elevated to the status of Agehyagusta (“Beloved Woman”). These women had the privilege of participating alongside men in tribal councils, thus making important decisions on whether the tribe maintained peace or went to war against its neighbors. They even had the power to decide whether a prisoner of war lived or died. The most famous “beloved woman” among the Overhill Cherokees was Nancy Ward (Nanye’hi: “One who goes about”). Born in the Cherokee town of Chota (near present-day Vonore, TN) in approximately 1738, Nanye’hi was a member of the Wolf clan. She accompanied her husband, Kingfisher, into the Battle of Taliwa in 1755 against her tribe’s foe, the Creeks. When her husband died in battle, the seventeen- year-old Nanye’hi picked up his weapon and helped the Cherokee drive the attacking Creeks off. She then assumed her husband’s place in the tribe and became one of the “War Women of the Cherokee” and eventually “Supreme Beloved Woman,” or Ghigau . As a War Woman, Nanye’hi not only participated in combat but also assumed a prominent role as tribal counselor and arbiter as conducted diplomacy and occasionally released war captives.

  • Nancy Ward Statue – Origin and Travels of a Unique Historic Art Sculpture (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on May 23, 2006)
    Nancy Ward Statue – Origin and travels of a unique historic art sculpture (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on May 23, 2006) The following story is a one that is very personal to me. For the past 30 years I have researched the history of Nancy Ward, Beloved Woman of the Cherokee who lived in what is now East Tennessee during the Revolutionary War era. She was likely the single most influential woman of the era in this area of our country. I got started in this research when John Rice Irwin introduced her to me in a most unusual manner – he asked me to photograph a granite statue of an Indian on a white woman’s grave. To appreciate this unique granite statue, one must first understand this most famous Cherokee Beloved Woman - Nancy Ward. She was born in 1738 in the sacred Cherokee village of Chota on the Little Tennessee River. When she died in 1822 in a small inn she kept on the Ocoee River the story is told by eyewitnesses of a light that left her body floated up to the ceiling and out the door traveling in the direction of Chota. This tumultuous period of history in the land west of the Appalachian mountain range and in the river valleys of the frontier lands in what is now East Tennessee saw the influx of thousands of white settlers and much blood shed. Nancy Ward’s cousin, Dragging Canoe, took a strong stand that to save his people the white settlers must be killed and that no land treaty should be agreed to that took the Cherokee land and gave it to the white settlers.

  • Nancy Ward Musical (As Published in the Oak Ridger’S Historically Speaking Column on April 24, 2012) on a Sunday About Two Years Ago, I Met Becky Hobbs
    Nancy Ward Musical (As published in The Oak Ridger’s Historically Speaking column on April 24, 2012) On a Sunday about two years ago, I met Becky Hobbs. (see her web site at: http://www.beckyhobbs.com/). She is a well respected song writer and entertainer who lives in Nashville, TN. She had found me through my Nancy Ward web site: http://smithdray.tripod.com/nancyward-index-5.html She had just finished visiting Long Island on the Holston River in Kingsport, TN, where Nancy Ward gave her famous speech in 1781. Becky is a fifth great granddaughter of the Beloved Woman, Nancy Ward of the Cherokee (1738-1822). Becky refers to Nancy Ward by her Cherokee name, Nanyehi. Nancy said at this treaty, "You Americans look at women as though we are nothing. But we are your mothers; you are our sons. Our cry is all for peace. Let it continue. This peace must last forever. Let your mother's sons be ours, our sons be yours. Let your women hear our words." Such profound words! She was the ONLY Native American woman to speak in treaties with white settlers. Obviously she was a woman of powerful influence in both the Cherokee and among the white settlers. As many of you may know, I am a historian because of John Rice Irwin's request for me to take a photograph of a four to five foot statue of Nancy Ward that was on a white woman's grave in the Arnwine Cemetery in Grainger County in the mid 1970's.

Goodpasture 121 Additional Letters of General Stand Watie Edward E. Dale 131 The Flight of the Kickapoos 150 A Word of Appreciation 156 Editorial Page 114 The adjourned session of the annual meeting of the Oklahoma Historical Society was held on Saturday, June 25, 1921. Practically the only business transacted was the consideration of the report of the committee on the revision of the constitution and by- laws of the Society. The revised constitution and by-laws as reported by the committee, were adopted without change. The meeting was well attended. The new constitution and by-laws will be printed and copies will be furnished to each member of the Society. One of the most encouraging features of the work of the Oklahoma Historical Society is the increasing amount of research work that is being done in the material contained in its collections. The amount of research work which has been done in the library of the Society during the year 1921 exceeds that of any previous year of its existence by several hundred per cent. This fact emphasizes the necessity of having the documentary material in the collections of the Society catalogued and made readily available for such use. The practical value of such a collection is seriously impaired unless it can be made available for instant reference by patronizing research workers and students as well as to facilitate the work of the Society’s own officials and employes.
