The Cherokee Nation and the Oklahoma Traitor's Daughter, Mary Catherine Naglegan

Cherokee people were shot and stabbed to death in Oklahoma at the hands of their fellow citizens for signing that treaty, for being traitors. "I think my generation is maybe the first that has really truly been able to have an actual conversation about healing some of those divides within Cherokee Nation," Naglegan says. Mary Catherine told me her great, great grandmother watched other Cherokees kill her father over and over again.
