Cherokee Indians Will Give Historical Drama Of Tribe
Cherokee, N.C.—(U.P.)The story of human sacrifices offered to save the Eastern Cherokee tribe from annihilation will be told in a new historical drama next summer.
The pageant will be presented in an amphitheater on a mountain-side in the Great Smokies.
Called "Unto These Hills," it reveals the tragedy of the conquest of the once-great nation of Cherokee who held domain over an area now included in eight Southern states.
Some historians trace the tribe back 15,000 years before the arrival of the white man. Within 300 years, the tribe had been driven to the brink of extinction.
Colonists first recognized the Cherokees as a nation in a treaty signed with South Carolina in 1721. By 1836 the Cherokees had signed 38 other treaties, forcing them first to surrender part of their land and later every foot of their original empire.
The pageant traces the Cherokee story of those years, opening with a scene depicting the hospitality of the tribe to the Spanish gold-hunting expedition led by De Soto in 1540.
Scenes follow showing the Cheroee reef to enlist in a federation of war with Tecumseh, the Battle of Horseshoe Bend, the saving of Jackson's life, and his later refusal as President to intervene and protect their lands.
Tsali refused to be herded with his group into "America's first concentration camp," he related. In resisting; he killed a soldier and with his band escaped into the mountain fastness:
Officers sent him warning that his tribe would be wiped out unless he surrendered with his two sons and his brother, offering their lives for the preservation of their tribe.
"He stood with his hands, uplifted, and Tsali was the last of the four to die," the council member said.
"The tour男士 stood in a line, but they did not go down together as might be expected before a firing squad. Tsali was not spared the sight of the sacrifice of his sons and his brother. He saw them fall, one by one, at his feet, himself to follow.
"I know, because I have been tolc by my people."
Like the world-renowned "Lost Colony" pageant written by the Pulitzer prize playwright Paul Green, "Unto These Hills" has its roots at the University of North Carolina, where its author Kermit Hunter, is a member of the English department.
The 2,600 Cherokee contributed $5,000 for the amphitheater site and its development on their 56,000-acre reservation here.
