ETHS Brown Bag Lecture: Allies, Intrigue, an Indomitable Women: Eighteenth-Century Cherokees at War, Wednesday, March 27, 12:00 p.m.

Join us as Casey Price discusses the nature of Cherokee-British relations during the early stages of the Seven Years War. During this time, the uneasy alliance and resulting colonial violence that existed between these two cultures only represented one piece of the broader conflict for the Cherokee. They were also contending with the machinations of Shawnee, Creek, and Haudenosaunee, as well as French military endeavors. By exploring the different types of tactics the Cherokee used to defend their homeland and expand their influence, this presentation will illuminate such 18th century strategies as secret diplomacy, unconventional military tactics, and hidden agriculture which were employed by Cherokee men and women.

Casey Price is a PhD candidate in the History Department at the University of Tennessee and a historian of Early America. Casey’s work focuses on the history of cartography and the Native South, specifically the Cherokee.
