Photo by @sarah_stacke / Nikwasi Mound in Franklin, North Carolina, was the center of a centuries-old Cherokee town until 1819 when its residents were forced off their land by the U.S. government. Franklin was built on top of the town, destroying all but the mound. The council house – the spiritual and political center of Nikwasi town – sat on top of the mound and about 100 houses, a field for playing stickball, a dance ground, and hundreds of acres of crops, orchards, and gardens surrounded it. Since the town of Franklin turned the mound’s grasses brown with herbicide, the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Indians have been trying to reclaim it. Franklin and now Nikwasi Initiative, who currently owns the deed, have resisted returning the site to the Cherokee. In 2017 the tribe purchased an old auto parts store next to the mound with plans to convert it into a branch of the Museum of the Cherokee Indian.
