      Great introduction and topic. Most traditional texts I have heard leave out the repeated attempts of the Cherokees to assimilate. Very accurate information here.

      Great list of primary sources. I would use these in my classroom. A good secondary source (like Howard Zinn's People's History) could also be used.

      Great way to teach the material, divide students into groups and have them make make sense of the material. Depending upon the age/skill-level of the group, I may not give each person a role but rather just have them all contribute to answering the questions.

      I like the idea of looking at it from three perspectives, getting students to think about history from multiple points of view.

      Fantastic lesson plan overall, I can't find anything that I don't like about it. I would definitely use something like this in my classroom. In particular, I love the way it gets students to look at it from the Cherokees point of view, NOT JUST the government or the American people.
