THE EAST ERN CHEROKEES
L Robt. [. Owen Takes Issue
With Delegation.
WASHINGTON, D. c., APRIL II.

Mr.. Frank J. Boudinot,
Sec. Emigrant Cher. Ex, Com.
Sir:-Answering your favor in
regard to the protest of the Chero-
kee delegation denying the fact
that there were any eastern"
Cherokees in the Cherokee nation,
and claiming that the money be-
longed to the Cherokee nation, |
respectfully reply;
The memorial is purely techni-
cal, for the delegation must know
that the emigrant Cherokees are
known and designated in the treat
les as Eastern Cherokees.
The local name of the Eastern
Cherokees is Emigrant Cherokees.
II you will read the senate resolu-
tion Of Sept. 8. 1850, you will see
the term Eastern" Cherokee 10
used to distinguish them from the
nWestern" Cherokees, or "Old
Settlers" The "Emigrant" or
eastern" Cherokees have the
same right to organize as the
Western" Cherokees or sold
Settlers had.
The delegation was misled by
some,letters from home criticising
the irst convention Of the EAST
ern" Cherokees. think they al
ready realize that they made a
mistake and regret the protest
they fled. The delegation was
informed that the first convention
was not called on sufficient notice
The convention Of April 3, 1900
understand, has corrected this
point, If any doubt existed, SO thai
all emigrants interested did, as
suredly, have full opportunity tc
attend and participate. | thini
the last convention deserves th'
respect and support Of the people
and of congress, and will have II
This money is undoubtedly du'
Ve "Emigrants" or Eastern
Cherokees, as the treaty of 1885
18th article, says il "shall b
equally divided between all tn
people belonging to the Chercke
nation east, according to the cen
sus just completed" and the 81
article of the treaty OF 1S45 say
they are "all those Cherokees re
siding east at the date Of sal
treaty 1885 and the supplement
thereto"
/ have no hesitation in sayin
that If the Eastern or EN-
grant, Cherokees stand frml
together and hold up the organiz'
tion they have established the
can get the money during th
congress, in spite, Of the unwii
action of the delegation in obstruc
ing them by denying their right
If the Eastern" or "Emigrant
Cherokees want this money the
should petition congress for it an
support the organization esta'
lished; il they get into famil
quarrel they may beat themselv'
out Of the money.
You may say 20 them and vi
this letter if you like, that l wi
do my best for them and will star
firmly by their organization.
Yours truly,
