From Wikipedia:

"Andrew Jackson (March 15, 1767 – June 8, 1845) was the seventh President of the United States (1829–1837). Based in frontier Tennessee, Jackson was a politician and army general who defeated the Creek Indians at the Battle of Horseshoe Bend (1814), and the British at the Battle of New Orleans (1815). A polarizing figure who dominated the Second Party System in the 1820s and 1830s, as president he dismantled the Second Bank of the United States and initiated settlement and forced relocation of Native American tribes from the Southeast to west of the Mississippi River. His enthusiastic followers created the modern Democratic Party. The 1830–1850 period later became known as the era of Jacksonian democracy.[1]

Jackson was nicknamed "Old Hickory" because of his toughness and aggressive personality; he fought in duels, some fatal to his opponents.[2] He was a wealthy slaveholder. He fought politically against what he denounced as a closed, undemocratic aristocracy, adding to his appeal to common citizens. He expanded the spoils system during his presidency to strengthen his political base.

Elected president in 1828, Jackson supported a small and limited federal government. He strengthened the power of the presidency, which he saw as spokesman for the entire population, as opposed to Congressmen from a specific small district. He was supportive of states' rights, but during the Nullification Crisis, declared that states do not have the right to nullify federal laws. Strongly against the national bank, he vetoed the renewal of its charter and ensured its collapse. Whigs and moralists denounced his aggressive enforcement of the Indian Removal Act, which resulted in the forced relocation of thousands of Native Americans to Indian Territory (now Oklahoma). Historians acknowledge his protection of popular democracy and individual liberty for United States citizens, but criticize him for his support for slavery and for his role in Indian removal."

NOT from Missouri.

You can not honestly tell me that everything that ever happened to you in your unfortunate childhood , is because you are of native ancestry ! I am Cheyenne. I look Indian. I have lived the majority of my life in Missouri. Now I live in Kansas. NOBODY does anything to me "just" because I'm Indian. You are just another person of dubious lineage , that was turned down by the Cherokee Membership because you cannot prove your lineage, and so you want to blame everything that ever happened to you on the Government.I just find that really hard to believe.

You say you are Cherokee. Who are your people ? Who was the last family you can find that was part of the Cherokee Tribe? Anyone ? Or is is just a story that some ggg grandparent escaped The Trail of Tears ? You should read Josiah Hair's article :http://www.powwows.com/2013/01/cherokee-of-today/ . If that doesn't help I know a great genealogist in the Kansas City area I could put you in touch with.

Moving to 'Indian Territory' may seem to you as a solution but through out history the amount of prejudice against Indians in Oklahoma is more than most states ! Good luck in your quest !

face it wounded....EVERY state is indian hostile if you think about it.....not only that but the are criminal hostile.....did you get locked up for no reason at all?

i never heard of cherokee remains found but i dont hear of everything.....but face it if you have a problem with everything starting at HISTORY than you have a long battle ahead of you........history is written by the conquerer

It seems to me that the areas with a higher Native population have greater amounts of prejudice against Natives: Alaska, South Dakota, Montana, and most areas around reservations.

And it doesn't really matter who jumped off the trail or not, does it. Tribes can enroll who they want and they make their own regulations. The Cherokee tribes seems to be SO lenient on who they enroll. I can't think of many other tribes that enroll folks with 1/128 or less tribal blood degrees.

luckily in new mexico racism is minimal.......but there are alot of twinkies there

What is this "Store" of which you speak?

I think the subject here is the Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band, not accepting those of unproved Cherokee descent, and being rude about it???

I tried to find out a bit of history at the museum in Cherokee, NC, a few years ago and was brushed off by the fellow there. He kept telling me to go to Tahlequah. No help there. My family all came from North Carolina, so I'm not sure how much good that would do me. On the other hand, I was treated very nicely by the ladies at the library, when I stopped by to do some genealogy research.

I guess it depends upon who you spoke to, and how you spoke to them.

I never grew up in K.C. I grew up in several small towns in Mo. I lost 2 Step-fathers in farm accidents by the time I was 18. I still don't believe your story that all your troubles are because of you being Indian. In 1973 I was a senior in high school. A few years ago I lived in K.C. and at that time I was the Chairman of the Board of the Heart of America Indian Center. I do know just a little about Indians in the State of Missouri.
By the way , there are no Sioux on the Baker Roll.
