The mystery of Ned Christie runs throughout the Cherokee Nation. Time has erased much of the details of history and intermeshed fact and fiction. It has been over one hundred years since Ned was assinated by the United States in the Cherokee Nation. But, stories of his supernatural being circulate among his people. His ability to shape-change into birds and other animals are intricate parts of stories told about him. His legend is alive at Stomp Grounds, in Cherokee homes, in books, and almost any where the Cherokee people gather and stories might be exchanged. His life outgrew the "outlaw" image the white people gave him, and gave the Cherokee people a warrior to be proud of, a man they and his family greatly admire and love. His acts of bravery, his selfless fight for sovereignty for the Cherokee Nation, his battle in a war with the United States that ended in his death, gave the Cherokee a true hero. His family, the Cherokee people, will never forget him. |
