About This Document: For the past five years, the legal status of the Cherokee Freedmen, specifically, has bounced back and forth between tribal courts, federal courts and agencies, members of Congress and Cherokee voters. "The Cherokee Nation contends that, by the Five Tribes Act and other statutes, the United States abrogated a portion of the Treaty of 1866, resulting in non-Indian Freedmen descendants, including the individual defendants, no longer having, as a matter of federal law, the right to citizenship of the Cherokee Nation," the complaint concludes. After the October election, HUD released the $37 million but said it would monitor the tribe's compliance with the federal court order.
