John Ross (pictured to the right) and Major Ridge were Cherokee leaders who felt that the best way for the Cherokee nation to remain independent and strong was to adopt parts of white culture. Click on the link to find out more about these leaders, and respond to the following two prompts:
1. Why do you think that many of the Cherokee opposed the ideas of Ross and Ridge. If you had been a Cherokee in the 1820s, which side would you have been on, and why?
2. Why do you think John Ross, who was only one-eighth Cherokee and raised and educated in the white community, might have felt so strongly about his Indian heritage?

1)The Cherokee weren't use to living like the white men.We would have been on the Ross and Ridge side because they were trying to make the Cherokee tribe a strong nation.
2)He knew that his ancestors were from the Cherokee tribe,and wanted the tribe to be a stronger nation.

1. They believed that these accommoclations to white culture would weaken the tribes hold on the land.
2. Were planning for the future of New Echota and an educated, well-governed tribe, the state of Georgia increased it's pressure on the federal government to release Cherokee lands for white settlement. They started to claim territory from them selfs.

1.)We think that they were against the Ross & Ridge idea because Ridge wanted to remove the constituion which was adopted by the Cherokee Ntional Council. If we had to choose a side it would be Ross's because he said "that all men are created equal".

1. I think that the cherokees wanted to have their own land but Ross&Ridge made laws that they cant so the cherokees didnt think it was right.Ive wouldve been in the cherokees side because its not fair for people to tell us what to do.
2.I think John Ross felt strong about his Indian heritage because it was a great culture.
p2.Madeline C. Michael E.
-We think that the Cherokee did not agree with Ross & Ridge because they wanted to have their own culture and not the white peoples culture and we agree that the Cherokees were right to not want to have the white peoples culture
-because he was only 1/8 Cherokee he probably felt he had to be more Cherokee than anyone else was more cherokee than him.

1. I think that the Indians were mistreated when the white decided to kick then out the land they developed with so much effort.
2. I think he might of still had the Indian spirit inside of him and he might of also felt that he needed to follow his original customs even though he was living the life of a white.

P4 Ray R & Osbaldo V
(1)I think that the Cherokee oppossed the ideas because they might of thought that those ideas were not the ways of there kind and it must of interfeared with there customs. If i was there i would probably be on the whites because they have more modern stuff and they could of taught me how to read and wright.
(2) I think that he must of felt really strongly because he does not want to leave his heratage behind and wants to carry his customs and traditions to his own children.
Karen C. and Benjamin C. p.4
1)I think that i would be in John Ross side because think he would the best leader.
2)I think that like everyone they felt proud about there heritage and like he educated whites he felt more proud.
p.2 Heidi Quinonez & Tania Pelayo
1. Some people appossed of the Ross and Ridge ideas because some had already adapted to the way of the christian life and ways. I would be on the side of Ross and Ridge because I think that they had a better reason and that the cherokee should keep to their herritage.
2. I think he felt that way because he wanted to enbrace his herritage.
P4 Chantal M.
1. Many Cherokees where opposing the idea because they wanted the white culture in their culture by encouraging english and Major Ridge and John Ross when against the movement by trying to maintain the same traditional Cherokee culture.
2. He felt that the cherokee tribe would not have lasted long without structural strong government.
p3 heidi q & tanya p
The Cherokee might not have wanted to adapt to the Christian ways because some people did but it wasn't working to save the Indian ways. I would have kept my ways because it is important to embrace your own heritage.
I think that Ross was more like the Indians because that was part of his heritage, too.
P4 Crystal C. & Juan C.
1.we think that maybe because the Cherokee had there own ideas and we do not agree with the Cherokees.
2.We think that because he liked them and wanted the best for the people that he is part of.
P4 Marcos C. Ariana C.
1. They didn't want any white men to be interfering with their tribe and also because they didn't want the white people to be taking away their land. I would have taken Ross' and Ridge's side on this idea because they were planning something that would have helped their tribe in the future.
2.
p4 Samantha R. & Jeffrey M.
1. They believed that these accommodtions to white culture would weaken the tribe's hold on the land.

P4.ADONIS.A &ANTONIO.b
1. I think it was because they wanted to seperate them from each other thats why they didnt like their ideas. I would have choosen the cherokee side because i dont want to be seperated from my own people

P.4 Nadia M. & Jaime P.

Per. 4 Mribel Diaz Adrian Cuadras
1. They didn' want to get invoved in their ideas, becouse it could be that they where sacard of their ideas. The Cherokee may have thought it was witchcrafts. Also becouse they may have felt that they couldn't trust Major Ridge & John Ross becouseothers have killes their comrades already. So the fear of geting betrade they opposed their ideas But i go to the side of ROSS BECOUSE they have more power so he may help me more. .
2. He was one-eight Cherokee. It was a person part of him. He couldn't just stand , nowing his conrades where getting killed, just to get their land. He couldn't forgive some one so mad, and so gready. He wanted to do something about it, he was proud in how he was.
