The Legacy of Old Tassel: Cherokee Resistance and Leadership in Early America

This narrative explores the enduring legacy of Cherokee leaders like Utsi'dsata (Old Tassel) and TsiyuGansini (Dragging Canoe), who advocated for peace and led guerrilla warfare against Euro-American invaders in the late 18th century. After Old Tassel was murdered in 1788 under a flag of truce, the struggles for respect and autonomy continued. John Ross, a bicultural Cherokee leader from 1828-1866, fought for Cherokee rights against oppressive state laws but faced challenges from the US Supreme Court. The Cherokee's quest for justice remains a significant chapter in American history.
