'Lost' Cherokee group wants federal recognition
Friday, December 17, 2004

The Lost Cherokee of Arkansas and Missouri is hoping federal recognition will lead to more economic opportunities.

The group organized in April 1999. Its members say they are descendants of Cherokees who refused to follow the Trail of Tears to Indian Territory in Oklahoma.

The group says it has asked the Bureau of Indian Affairs for recognition.
