And whereas the Cherokee people have existed as a distinct national community, in the possession and exercise of the appropriate and essential attributes of sovereignty, for a period extending into antiquity, beyond the dates and records and memory of man. And whereas then attributes, with the rights and franchises which they involve, have never been relinquished by the Cherokee people, but are now in full force and virtue. And whereas the natural political and moral relations subsisting among the citizens of the Cherokee nation towards each other and towards the body politic cannot in reason and justice, be dissolved by the expulsion of the nation from its own word lined out, territory, by the power of the United States government.

Resolved further that the Cherokee people in consenting to an investigation of their individual claims, and viewing payment upon them, and for their improvements, do not intend that it shall be so word lined out construed as yielding, or giving their sanction or approval to the pretended treaty of 1835, not as unknown in any manner their just claim against the United States hereafter, for a full and satisfactory indemnification, for their country, and for all individual losses and injuries. Be it further resolved that unknown the principal chief be, and he is hereby authorized to select, and appoint such persons as he may deem suitable for the purpose of collecting and registering all word lined out individual claims against the United States with the ]]unknown]], and to repost to him their
