Talk:Dragging Canoe

Clearly not colonial

Colonial implies at some level being under the power of a foriegn authorit. Draggin Canoe never recognied auhority beyond the Cherokees. He should not be classed as colonial.John Pack Lambert (talk) 22:51, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

• To put him in Category:Tennessee colonial people is really weird. What are colonial people in the first place? And what would a Tennessee colonial people be? ChemTerm (talk) 22:52, 17 November 2012 (UTC)

This is one of a number of discussions (started by John Pack Lambert) that are forked from Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2012 November 16#Category:Tennessee colonial people. Rather than conduct discussions of this topic in a dozen different places, let's have just one discussion. Please continue the discussion at the WP:CFD page. --Orlady (talk) 06:13, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Comment the outcome of this discussion is totally different then the outcome of the issue at CfD. No matter how you name it it is still imposing imperialism on people who were not part of the empire.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:41, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

Chickamauga

The Chickamauga nation is not Cherokee. George Washington 4th address states this. The split took place over the main body of the Cherokee nation wanted to sell to settlers. The Chickamauga didn't. We never rejoined the Cherokee nation. AYA TSIGAMOGI. Mikebull1129 (talk) 19:03, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Hi Mike. As discussed in the Chickamauga Cherokee article, the Chickamauga were originally Cherokee but split from the Cherokee nation. However, they are still referred to by reliable sources as Cherokee, so that's what Wikipedia must follow. Cheers, Λυδαcιτγ 01:21, 16 August 2018 (UTC)

Chickamauga.

How much more of a reliable source is there than a chickamauga? We have even proven this fact to the state of tennessee and have had tennessee blue book history changed because of it. Mikebull1129 (talk) 16:06, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
