CB, Colleen, and me, have been up in North Carolina, and Tennessee, where the Cherokee that escaped the Trail of Tears are consentrated. They already own a lot of their own land, and the entire town of Cherokee, but the rest of the area has become so infested with tourists, it is almost worthless. I'm not sure of this, but it seemed that the tribal members in Oklahoma do not care a great deal about those in N.C. It's something about the Eastern branch not having to endure the tragic event. Either way, they are very nice people to be around. Very friendly, and willing to help out one in need. I will check into those books you mentioned. Jane Whitefield sounds like she must be a female Shaman. One of the best books about a woman among the Indians, was "Ride The Wind". (I think the title is correct) It's about the little white girl that was taken during a Comanche raid on Fort Parker, a little South of Dallas. She was raised as a Comanche, and gave birth to Quanah Parker who was one of the last warrior chiefs of the Comanche. Of course, in my mind, the ultimate book about Indians is, "Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee" by Dee Brown. It is the primer from which readers can go on to other books with a better understanding of how the Indians were affected by the incursions of the white Europeans.
