Who knew the Cherokees owned slaves? - In The Aggregate – Arizona's political blogs: "There have been several articles in recent days referring to the Cherokee Nation’s sparring with the descendents of slaves the tribe once owned.
Shocking as it sounds, tribal members owned black slaves. In fact In the 1830s, when the Cherokees were forced from their lands in the southeastern United States, many brought their slaves to Oklahoma. When the Civil War broke out decades later, numerous Cherokees fought for the Confederacy."
