COL. OWEN EXPLAINS.
National Council Not Recognized,
Cherokee Nation no Right TO Act.

Editor Indian Chieftain - In
your issue of March 7th you ask
thequestion, why did Mr.. Owen
apply TO the Cherokee National
council for authority to proceed in
this matter if the coumcil had no
authority to employ attorneys2
This question is easily answered.
While | made no personal appli-
cation to the council, II did recog-
'nize the national cOGncil as hav-
ing the right, on behalf cf the
Eastern Cherokees, to employ at
torneys to collect this money so
long as the national council acted
with the consent OF the Eastern
Cherokees and those people organ
lied for their own defense, as they
had a right to do under the treaty,
| no longer recognized the national
council as authorized in the mat
ter, holding that the Eastern
Cherokees were entitled to the
rights of all free men, including
the right of self representation.
Moreover, under the laws of the
United States, the right of the
Cherokee nation to act even for
itself had been destroyed and the
Eastern Cherokees had no other
recourse except the right of self
representation. Even the act of
the national council employing
Judge Springer, on reasonable
salary, was not approved and bis
payment for services rendered was
refused. On such a basis it was
impossible to protect the rights of
the IEastern Cherokees.
The term eastern Cherokees"
was not coined by meas you seem
to think. They are so described
in various public acts, to distin-
lguish them from the Western
Cherokees, for example in the
resolution of the senate Of the
United States of September 5, 1850, |
etc. The award of money to the
Cherokee nation under the treaty |
of 1885, the appropriation having
been made by congress on Sep /
tember 80, 1850, and Februery 27, |
1851, as payable to the Cherokee
nation was held by HoH. ,9ohn J.
Crittenden, attorney general of the
United States, in his opinion rem
dered April 16, 1851, g Opinions,
300 to mean those Cherokees re.
siding east at the date Of the treaty
OF 1885 and the Supplement- there
TO. The Court of Claims in its
opinion in the Western Cherokee
case constantly speaks Of these
people as the Eastern CherOkees.
TIE suggestion in your head
lines that | ridiculed the intelli-
gence of the Cherokee council in
my letter is entirely unwarranted.
Among the members of the Chero-
kee National council l count q
large number OF personal friends
for whom have a sincere regard
and respect. The act of the coun-
Gil appointing Halsell and Turner
/ designated as ridiculous for the
reason that it was selfcontra-
dictory and self-destructive. Yours
respectfully. RoB'T L. OWEN.
