Prophecykeepers - USA's Secret Cherokee Warriors Part 1

This weekend, we honor two of Americas secret heros. Tonight, listen to Texas Cherokee Chief Captain D.L. "Pappy" Hicks (facebook) Special Forces Commander of the Secret War in Laos. The Texas Cherokees (website) were driven out by force In battles fought on the 15th and 16th of July 1839. No one left of his own accord. Many DID NOT flee Texas, but hid out in the woods until the army left. Many returned to their fields and started to live as "white" citizens for survival purposes. Many lost their Cherokee heritage; some of them hung on to them and have never wavered about being Cherokee. We wavered only when it came to living within the bounds of Texas. Remember, a red man couldnt vote or hold office until 1924. Even after that period, it was best to be "Black Dutch," or something that was dark, than it was to be and American Indian. People shouldnt depend entirely upon historians and their books to give them facts about the red man. It is also impossible to "discover" historical events with a couple of books. Especially since I have read so many written by people who only rely upon other "historians" document "facts." Not all court decisions are given with justice; just legal.
