The Cherokees realized that if they did not adapt to European modes of thinking and addressing problems, they would be unable to protect their culture. One of the main reasons that the Cherokee survived at all (when most Native American Tribes have gone extinct) is that they were able to write newspapers and constitutions, build houses, and negotiate proper treaties with Whites.
