This timeline presents events in the history of the Cherokee Nation, from its earliest appearance in historical records to modern court cases in the United States. Some basic content about the removal of other southeastern tribes to lands west of the Mississippi River is included. In a series of treaties, these tribes ceded land to the United States. ==1540–1775== *1540: Members of Hernando DeSoto’s expedition became the first recorded Europeans to encounter the Mississippian culture people, in the towns of Chalaque, Guaqili, Xuala (Joara), and Guasili.〔David G.; Beck, Robin A. Jr.; & Rodning, Christopher B. (March 2004). ("Joara and Fort San Juan: Culture Contact at the Edge of the World" ), ''Antiquity'' (Vol 78 No 299)〕 Joara was a regional chiefdom established around the year 1000 near the present day town of Morganton, North Carolina. These villages are believed to have been developed by Catawba ancestors (specifically the Cheraw). *1567: On a lengthy journey into the interior from Santa Elena (present day South Carolina) to the planned capital of Spanish Florida, Juan Pardo established the Presidio of San Juan at Joara.〔 In later journeys, Pardo encountered Native Americans in towns such as Nikwasi, Tocoa, and Kituwa. *1654: English settlers from Jamestown, supported by a force of Pamunkey, attacked the "Rechahecrian" (possibly Cherokee) village of 600–700 warriors in the vicinity of present day Richmond, and were soundly defeated. *1670: German trader James Lederer travelled south from the James River in Virginia to Catawba territory near the newly established Province of Carolina, where he encountered the "Rickahockan," whom he placed on a map as being in the western mountains of present day North Carolina. *1708: The Lenape destroyed a Cherokee town in the upper Ohio River region and drove away its people. The Cherokee at Qually Boundary told anthropologist James Mooney these were the last Cherokee remaining in the north. *1710–1715: The Cherokee and Chickasaw warred with the Shawnee of the Cumberland River basin in present day Tennessee. *1711–1715: The Cherokee joined other tribes and European militias in fighting against the Tuscarora, longtime enemies of the Cherokee. Their victory in the Tuscarora War forced the remaining Tuscarora to migrate north to New York, where they joined the Iroquois Confederacy as the Sixth Nation in 1722. *1714: The Cherokee destroyed the Yuchi town of Chestowee on the Hiwassee River, in the brief Cherokee-Yuchi War. *1715–1717: In the Yamasee War, the Cherokee initially joined other tribes, such as the Yamasee, Catawba, and Lower Muscogee), in attacking South Carolinian colonists. Along with the Catawba, the Cherokee switched sides during the course of the war, contributing to the defeat of their former allies. *1721: The Cherokee signed the Treaty with the Province of South Carolina, ceding land between the Santee, Saluda, and Edisto Rivers. Subsequently, the first recorded band of Cherokee crossed the Mississippi River, supposedly led by a warrior named Dangerous Man (''Yunwiusgaseti''). Part of this band allegedly reached the Rocky Mountains and survived into the 19th century. In an attempt to reunite the Cherokee, Sequoyah left Indian territory for northern Mexico, where he disappeared. *1730: Sir Alexander Cumming, who crowned Moytoy of Tellico as "Emperor of the Cherokee," took seven Cherokee leaders, including Attakullakulla, to London. They met with King George I and signed the Articles of Trade and Friendship between the Cherokee and the Kingdom of Great Britain. *1753–1755: The Cherokee-Muscogee War was fought, culminating in the Battle of Taliwa. *1754–1763: During the French and Indian War, the North American theater of the Seven Years' War, the Cherokee initially fought with British forces against those of the Kingdom of France, but British mistreatment of Cherokee forces led Moytoy to initiate the Anglo-Cherokee War, which the British won. At that war's conclusion, the Cherokee signed the Treaty of Long Island-on-the-Holston with the Colony of Virginia in 1761 and the Treaty of Charlestown with South Carolina in 1762. *1755: The Cherokee signed the Treaty with South Carolina, ceding the land between the Wateree and Santee rivers. *1758–1769: The Cherokee-Chickasaw War was fought, culminating in the Battle of Chickasaw Old Fields. *May 1762: Following his peace mission to the Overhill Towns, Lieutenant Henry Timberlake took three headmen—Ostenaco of Tomotley, Standing Turkey of Chota, and Wood Pigeon (''Ata-wayi'') of Keowee—to meet with George III in London to reaffirm the peace treaties signed at the end of the Anglo-Cherokee War. *October 7, 1763: King George III issued the Royal Proclamation of 1763, creating a boundary line along the crest of the Appalachian Mountains, beyond which colonists were forbidden to settle, in an effort to try to preserve Indian territory and reduce conflicts between colonists and Indians. *1768: The Cherokee signed the Treaty of Hard Labour with the British Indian Superintendent, ceding land in southwest Virginia. *1770: The Cherokee signed the Treaty of Lochaber with the British Indian Superintendent, ceding land in present day Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, and Kentucky. *1772 : *The Cherokee signed the Treaty with Virginia, ceding land in Virginia and eastern Kentucky : *The Cherokee agreed to lease land to a group of colonists, creating the semi-autonomous Watauga Association. *1773: The Cherokee signed the Treaty of Augusta, ceding over two million acres (8,000 km²) to the colony of Georgia. *1769 : *The Cherokee signed the Treaty of Sycamore Shoals, selling land to the Transylvania Company : *A group of Cherokee defeated Spanish miners in the Mine La Motte area of Missouri. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of Cherokee history」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
