Cherokee Braves
Cherokee Braves, Trans-Mississippi Department: This special flag’s history commemorated the signing of a treaty with the Cherokee Nation on 7 October 1861. This is a “Stars and Bars” variation. A cluster of five red stars was added to represent the five “Civilized” Indian Nations which were aligned with the Confederacy. There is a similar flag that survives which was flown by the First Cherokee Mounted Rifles.
