Cherokee Indians and the United States: A Failed Effort at Adaptation but Survival

The role of adaptation and cross-cultural issues in the interactions between cultures, societies and nations.

However, while ill-conceived and poorly implemented, an ironic result of the federal government's Indian removal was the survival of the Cherokee nation as a distinct cultural entity.
