We are not federally recognized yet and therefore are not affiliated with the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs. We are however in the process of seeking U. S. recognition. We are not part of the Oklahoma or North Carolina Cherokee Bands, but we are related by blood kinship.
The Tsalagiyi Nvdagi, under the name of Texas Cherokee, signed a treaty with the Republic of Texas on February 23, 1836. Texas violated that treaty when they drove the Texas Cherokee and their related bands from Texas by gun and knife on July 16, 1839, and Chief Diwali (principal chief at that time and known to the whites as Bowles) was killed. Those who survived the massacre, either fled to other locations or hid in the deep forest of East Texas so they would not suffer a similar fate.
We who have come together to reinstate our tribe are very proud people. We will last as long as there is a drop of Ani-Tsalagi blood left among us.
