STAND WATIE was one of the CHEROKEE Indian chief's who 
signed the Treaty of New Echota of 1835, ordering the Cherokee to 
give up their land east of the Mississippi and move westward to 
WESTERN INDIAN TERRITORY. Cherokee factions opposed to the treaty 
sentenced him to death, but he lived on to serve as Brigadier 
General, leading a Confederate Cherokee regiment. STAND WATIE was 
the last Confederate officer to surrender to the Union.

Stand Watie
- the only Indian to attain the rank of general in the Confederate Army.

      The Cherokee Braves Battle Flag was presented to the Cherokees as a 
      confederate battle flag by a representative of the Confederacy, "Albert 
      Pike", at the signing of the treaty that brought the Cherokee into the 
      Confederacy on the Seventh (7th) of October 1861.
      The flag at the time was Stars and Bars with eleven (11) white stars in a 
      circle in the blue field, representing the states in the Confederacy. The 
      Cherokee modified the flag to create one for battle of their own. In the 
      field of the white bar they added the words "CHEROKEE BRAVES" and in the 
      center of the circle of white stars in the blue field they placed five (5) 
      red stars, representing the five civilized tribes, all in the confederacy, 
      with the larger red star in the center representing the Cherokees. The 
      Confederate Indian troops, under the command of "General Stan Watie" 
      carried the flag as their banner, also used by the men as their national 
      flag. 

      The Confederate Cherokee government was set up in the Canadian District, 
      in the southern part of the Cherokee Nation. The dream of having a 
      separate, independent and sovereign Cherokee government was never 
      realized. "General Stan Watie" was the only Cherokee Native American to 
      attain the rank of general in any military and was the last one to 
      surrender at the end of the war. The descendants of the Cherokee 
      Confederacy who know, honor their ancestors by displaying the flag.
