Cherokee
Native American people indigenous to the Southeastern United States
Did the Cherokee people send a delegation to oppose allotment?
The Four Mothers Society or Four Mothers Nation is a religious, political, and traditionalist organization of Muscogee Creek, Cherokee, Choctaw and Chickasaw people. The Four Mothers Society sent a delegation to Congress in 1906 to oppose the Curtis Act and the Dawes Act. With the passage of the Curtis Act in 1898 and Dawes Act, allotment became US policy and the various tribal governments were forced to allot land.
Which acts cause allotment to become US policy? Who sent as a delegate to congress to oppose #1? Is #2 related to the Cherokee people?
