See also: John Ross
John Ross in Cherokee Koowescoowe (1790 - 1866) was an Amerindian chief of Scottish father and mother Cherokee.
It was born close from Lookout Mountain in the Tennessee. It is useful in the army with Andrew Jackson against the Creeks in 1812. It is named president of the national council of Cherokees of 1819 to 1826 and is elected chief of the Cherokee nation of 1828 to 1839.
It resists valiantly the eviction of its people of Georgia but it is finally forced to take the head of it. It is the drama of the track of the tears caused by the Indian Removal Act which off-sets Cherokees in full winter with appalling losses towards the Indian territories of the Oklahoma of 1838 with 1839.
There remains chief of the nation Cherokee Unie until its death and takes an active part in the drafting of its constitution.
