OUR ANCESTRAL STORY

The Chicamauga tribe split from the main body of the Cherokee tribe in the late 1770s, forming a distinct faction known for their resistance to westward expansion by European settlers.  Our ancestors established settlements along Chickamauga Creek and engaged in fierce, guerrilla-style ware against encroaching settlers.  

​

The Chickamauga emerged from the Cherokee Nation following the American Revoluntionary War, with a faction led by Chief Dragging Canoe choosing to resist the encroachment of white settlers.

​

Their established several settlements along Chickamauga Creek, near present-day Chattanooga, Tennessee, which became their stronghold.  

​

The Chickamauga tribe is a distinct indigenous group with relationship ties to the Southeast Ceremonial Complex and a history dating back thousands of years.
