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.
