Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”So from 1906 and 1907, when Oklahoma became a state, and until 1971, we didn’t elect our own tribal leaders. Chiefs of the Cherokee Nation and some of the other, well they call them Southeastern tribes; by now they were in Indian Territory; our Chiefs were appointed by the President of the United States, and usually for no good purpose. They were appointed so they could sign easements or give away land, or other resources of the tribes. . . . It’s interesting to see how our people began to view leadership during this period of time from 1906-1907 to 1971. They began to see Chiefs of the Cherokees as something external to themselves; a position that only very prominent people who had little connection to the tribe could aspire to or hold.Courtesy of the Wilma Mankiller Trust

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”What’s interesting to me in looking—I like history a lot, and looking at old historical documents—is to see that in the 1840s there was still a significant number, not the majority or anywhere near the majority, but there were a significant number of people in this country that were still questioning whether Indians were human, or whether Indians had souls, when we and many other people like our tribe had been running our own governments for a long, long time.Courtesy of the Wilma Mankiller Trust

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”Some people will tell you those treaties aren’t valid anymore and they should be ignored simply because they’re old, and obviously . . . that argument makes little sense. There are lots of world documents that are very old and just because they’re old and because of their age doesn’t mean that they’re any less valid. The United States Constitution is very old.Courtesy of the Wilma Mankiller Trust

A
Wilma Mankiller says that some people ignore old things, like treaties and other world documents. The United States Constitution, for example, is a document that is very old.

The United States Constitution was created many years ago. Therefore, it should be ignored if people feel that old treaties should not be honored because of their age, says Mankiller.
C
Wilma Mankiller says that some treaties created long ago should be disregarded because of their age. She admits, though, that many old documents, including the United States Constitution, can still be considered valid.
D
According to Mankiller, the people who say that old treaties are invalid because of their age are wrong. Many old documents around the world are still valid, including the United States Constitution.

Read the excerpt from "Rebuilding the Cherokee Nation.”During this period of time when removal was being discussed, our own people, the Cherokees, became very bitterly divided politically. Part of our people wanted to remain here in the Southeast and throughout the rest of the Southeast and fight to the death for the right to remain in our homeland, and part of our people wanted to go on to Indian Territory, believing that the removal was inevitable, and that we should go on to Indian Territory, what is now Oklahoma, and resettle and rebuild our families and our communities there in Indian Territory.Read how Luis paraphrased the excerpt.Wilma Mankiller says that during this period of time when removal was discussed, her own people, the Cherokees, became very bitterly divided politically.
