Today in Chickamauga History - November 23
1838, November 23: At this time all of the fugitives of TSALI’s band have been captured except for TSALI himself, formerly of COOSAWATIYI and a leader of the Cherokee Ghost Dance movement of 1811-1812. On this day three of the men are executed by a firing squad composed of YONAGUSKA’s Oconaluftee Cherokee, who have citizenship in the State of North Carolina, and from UTSALA’s Nantahala Cherokee, who live within the (now) former Cherokee Nation.
