    {EXCERPTED FROM On This Date In North American Indian History
    By Phil Konstantin

    1831: The state of Georgia has seized CHEROKEE lands in that state. CHEROKEE leaders have complained to many Federal government officials. On February 15th, the United States Senate officially asked President Andrew Jackson if he was going to live up to the Indian Trade and Intercourse Act passed in March, 1802. Today, President Jackson will respond to the Senate's inquiry. Unequivocally, Jackson states that he sides with the State of Georgia, and he will not enforce any law giving precedence to the CHEROKEEs over Georgia.

    RELEVANT LINKS:
     1838: CHEROKEE Chief John Ross presents to Congress, today, a petition signed by 15,665 (there are approximately 18,000 CHEROKEEs in all) CHEROKEEs repudiating the New Echota treaty. They remind the Congress that when a similar rigged treaty was ratified in 1825, then president Adams had it nullified. The Senate will not act on the petition.

    URGENT HEATING NEED WOUNDED KNEE DISTRICT..READ IT...

    UPDATE:
    Hi Ish.
    Here is the information on Gordon Propane
    They will take checks or money orders and the minimum amount is $135.00 for 
    100 gallons. 
    Their address is......Gordon Propane
                                  P.O. Box 58,
                                  Gordon, Nebraska,
                                69343
                                 Ph: 308-282-1725

    the other one is Blue Gas but they recommend sending to PTI which is
    interesting . She told me they cant afford to travel 30 miles to the rez all over the place to deliver propane so think that lets out Blue Gas. Looks like Gordon is the best one......  Bennetts are having problems and so is PTI with drivers apparently. 
    all my best:-)
