This book examines the origins, prehistory, and history of the Cherokee living in the Cumberland (i.e., the Cumberland Mountains, Cumberland Plateau, and Cumberland River valley). Previous Cherokee research has either focused on the Eastern Band Cherokee located in the Qualla Boundary region of western North Carolina or the Cherokee Nation and United Keetoowah Band Cherokee headquartered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. This book focuses on a group of Native Americans who refused to move, retreating into the wilderness, inter-marrying with white traders and settlers. In some cases, family members escaped the removal process and found their way back to live in their homeland. Their survival depended upon their ability to publicly suppress their culture and heritage, generation after generation. Despite almost two centuries of cultural concealment, Cherokee continue to survive in this region as they have since time immemorial.

Amazing eyewitness accounts written by two women who, as children, suffered and witnessed horrific experiences during this tragic period of our history. Mary Schwandt-Schmidt and Wilhelmina “Minnie” Bruce Carrigan lived to tell their stories, as well as those of their family, friends, and neighbors in Renville County, Minnesota. An immediate result of the uprising was the flight of nearly 40,000 people from their homes. This uprising resulted in the loss of at least 800 lives. The index provides a wealth of names of the pioneers in the area. The editor hails from Renville County, where his German immigrant great-grandparents settled after the Civil War.

This book is about a generation of Native Americans that have endured the settler colonial weapons of egocide and policide. It contains a compilation of ten life histories of dedicated Native American activists, artists, and scholars. The life histories provide examples of both individual Native American and tribal-based approaches to finding strength, resistance, and survival in the face of inequities and prejudice in Western culture. Tribal customs, traditions, and the ways they are used to heal and live in harmony are presented. This book explains how the authors found their way to the Good Red Road, which is the path of living as a Native American.
