SECTION 1. FINDINGS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) In the 1830s, members of the Cherokee Na-
tion were removed from their lands in the south-
eastern United States and forced to migrate to 
Oklahoma along a route known as the Trail of 
Tears. Among those persons forced to migrate were 
the Black slaves of Cherokees, free Blacks married 
to Cherokees, and the children of mixed-race fami-
lies, known now as the ‘‘Black Cherokees’’. 
(2) In 1861, the Cherokee Nation executed a 
treaty with the Confederate States of America, 
thereby severing its relations with the United States 
Government. Members of the Cherokee Nation held 
positions in the Congress and military of the Con-
federate States of America and waged war against 
the United States during the Civil War. 
(3) Following the Civil War, the United States 
reestablished relations with the Cherokee Nation 
through the Treaty of 1866. The Treaty of 1866 de-
clared that the Black Cherokees, also known as 
‘‘Cherokee Freedmen’’, were to be made citizens of 
the Cherokee Nation and to have all the rights of 
Cherokees. 
(4) The Treaty of 1866 further guarantees the 
following:
