In 1819 to 1820 several hundred Cherokees-led by Duwali, a chief from Tennessee-settled along the Sabine, Neches, and Angelina rivers in east Texas. Welcomed by Mexico as a buffer to U.S. settlement, Duwali’s people had separated from other Western Cherokees in an effort to retain the tribe’s traditional lifeways. As Dianne Everett details in The Texas Cherokees, they found themselves "caught between two fires" in many respects: between the Cherokee ideal of harmony and the reality of factionalism, between white settlers pushing westward and western Indians resisting incursions, and between traditional ways and the practical necessity of accommodating to whites.

This review is from: The Texas Cherokees: A People Between Two Fires, 1819-1840 (Civilization of the American Indian Series) (Paperback)
This girl wrote a wonderful book here. I'm related to these folks. The story made me cry. Because they had to blend into white society, they all lost their stories, their past. This book helped me reconnect. This is a very special book. Please read it.
