Info on his conference, etc. It does look, LDS.

No problemo. It was just so easy to spot. LDS is writing their own scientific narrative to prove their existence in North America.
All of this comes with co-opting ancient and past societies who are unable to make any oppositional declaration regarding their history or interaction with “Other Peoples”.
I get why they do it, for profit and to legitimize their claims, however, there is no way to legitmize those claims without excavating a certain hill in New York, which they won’t, ever.
They seem to be adventuring further south in the hopes they can use known peoples to support their claim but invented coincidences are not going to get them their vaunted dreams.
Greek isn’t going to ever be compared to Creek and this article goes a step further by attempting to de-legitimize Sequoyah and his work in bringing the interpretation of the Cherokee language to the United States Government.
That same language is still spoken throughout Cherokee County, Oklahoma and is understood from using our alphabet.
That’s the short story.
I am from Hulbert, OK and lived in Tahlequah.
Quickest way to discover someone is from elsewhere is when they pronounce Tahlequah or Tsa-La-Gi.
I was incensed by the premise of the article and it’s first paragraph alone set my blood pressure a little higher.
It is akin to robbing someone of their dignity and pride, surely not something the Cherokee or any other tribe need ever experience again.
Further, the Shawnee and Cherokee probably did not interact much as the Shawnee were located further north from the Cherokee. It could be they signed a peace treaty, on a rock. But, where it was located doesn’t make sense and there would be corroborating evidence from the Cherokee, or should be. There isn’t.
It just doesn’t seem plausible there interaction would give rise to something so significant as a peace treaty, considering the Cherokee where peaceful, compared to other Native American tribes. They did allow other bands of tribes to find refuge on Cherokee land and that is a testament to the generosity and benevolence of the Cherokee.
Don’t let us dissuade you from posting interesting articles
