Adding "slavery" to Culture section

Since this could be perceived as trolling/pushing POV I just wanted to something here as I move forward with edits. There is a fascinating aspect regarding not only the Cherokee (spurred by The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee by David Treuer) but numerous Native American tribes and how they processed and sometimes enslaved those they captured in battle. Perhaps it will give a temperature of the times and inform us the survival instinct required by any given tribe (the Cherokee in this instance).

There are a couple pages that I'll link, which addresses the subject as a whole: Slavery among Native Americans in the United States and Slavery among the indigenous peoples of the Americas.

Here's some existing text in the page I would move into this section:

The Cherokee were among the Native American peoples who sold the traders Indian slaves for use as laborers in Virginia and further north. They took them as captives in raids on enemy tribes.[31]

I'm actually seeing a section from Cherokee Freedmen Controversy#Slavery among the Cherokee that should just be ported over--in its entirety--to this page. Anotherpinkfloydinthewall (talk) 22:05, 22 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ported over the slavery section from the Freedman page. This got chopped in the mix and I may add it back into its original location:

The Cherokee were among the Native American peoples who sold the traders Indian slaves for use as laborers in Virginia and further north. They took them as captives in raids on enemy tribes.^[1]

Cherokee Nation land status

On July 9, 2020, the SCOTUS decided half of Oklahoma made up of tribal nations is officially Native American land and this is important to mention in the article about the Oklahoma Cherokee. ^[1]

It needs to be expanded to explain in terms of the state's history as partly Indian Territory.Parkwells (talk) 18:40, 18 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Stitt, governor of Oklahoma

Include him to the list of famous Cherokee persons in the article, he's an enrolled tribal member of the Cherokee Nation. ^[1]

I only see one list of famous people and there's a header that says "This includes only Cherokee documented in history. Contemporary notable Cherokee people are listed in the articles for the appropriate tribe." Cannolis (talk) 22:16, 24 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin Stitt is listed as a member of the Cherokee Nation based in Eastern Oklahoma in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Cherokee_Nation_people for modern-day famous Cherokees, the article is based on the Cherokee as a whole, but only historic Cherokee persons are listed in the article.
