From the time of first contact until today, the Great Intrusion had one purpose: the theft of the Original Inhabitantsall's lands. This page details some of what transpired, documented from historical sources the Intruders put into their books, legal decisions, and policies but suppressed. The Cherokees were treated with as a Sovereign Nation. This substantially differed from the Western treaties which were treaties of war between the Nations and their conquerors; the military. Our treaties are government to government and to be valid, under international law, we had to have ratified them in our Nation which this author can find no record of. Our recourse, verifiable through the treaties, is through the president of the United States and no one else. However, the U.S. government chooses to ignore that critical point in treaty, constitutional, and international law in their thirst for all our land! Our lands were stolen through avarice and treachery unrivaled in the civilized history of the world.
