  • 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.

  • Cherokee Nation Sends Delegate to Congress
    NATIONAL Cherokee Nation Names First Delegate To Congress September 3, 20199:43 AM ET Heard on All Things Considered GRAHAM LEE BREWER Kimberly Teehee is being nominated by Cherokee National Principal Chief Chuck Hoskin Jr. as a delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Sue Ogrocki/AP The Cherokee Nation has named its first delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives. Former Obama appointee Kimberly Teehee's nomination was approved by the tribe's council on Thursday. Although the treaty that created this nonvoting position is almost 200 years old, it had never been filled. The article outlining the right to a delegate is in the Treaty of New Echota. The 1835 treaty is also the document that led to the Trail of Tears, something that has been top of mind for Teehee. She points out the treaty gave up the Cherokee's homelands and cost the tribe thousands of lives. "Literally blood, sweat and tears," Teehee said. "We can't ignore that history and what it meant for us to have a provision like that put in place given the devastation that occurred and the deaths that occurred." POLITICS Cherokee Nation Takes Up 1835 Promise To Send Delegate To Congress Teehee grew up in Oklahoma and cut her teeth in politics in the 1980s interning for Wilma Mankiller, the first woman to become chief of the Cherokee Nation. Mankiller led the tribe at a time when it was reasserting its sovereignty on both a state and national level. Teehee says watching Mankiller become one of the most effective Cherokee chiefs in modern history was inspiring.

SBEs promote discovery learning and student responsibility in the learning process. They expose students to creative thinking, problem solving, planning and organizational skills, and teamwork. SBEs help young people become business creators rather than job seekers. In a 1994 Gallup poll,7 out of 10 American high school students said they wanted to start their own business. However, the dilemma is that these students aren't getting the kind of education they need to do so. Approximately 85 percent of them indicated they believe it is important to receive entrepreneurship education. This document presents strategies that teachers can use to foster entrepreneurship education in their classrooms, and techniques offering ways of teaching and learning that are appropriate for entrepreneurship. Specific chapters address career awareness, exploration, and preparation for all educational levels and include lesson plans and sample activities.(GCP) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.
