48: The Cherokee, Part 1: Promises on Paper

Embark on a reflective journey with Hometown History as we unveil the first chapter in the story of the Cherokee Nation—a people whose trust in written promises was time and again met with betrayal. In this episode, we delve into the poignant history that unfolds within the walls of The Museum of the Cherokee Indian.

From the broken assurances of the 1763 British proclamation to the disregarded Treaty of Hopewell in 1785, we examine the poignant narrative of the Cherokee people, whose land and rights were repeatedly compromised despite the so-called binding signatures of governments.
