Native Americans defy Andrew Jackson Day Dinner

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - On May 7, local Native Americans - Cherokee, Muscogee Creek and Choctaw - held a spirited demonstration in opposition to the annual Andrew Jackson Day Dinner sponsored by the local Democratic Party. The dinner was held at the newly minted Music City Center in Nashville.

Area local American Indians have long opposed any celebration of that arch architect of genocide, Andrew Jackson. A number of signs carried by demonstrators read "Indian Killer Jackson. He is considered in Native American circles as an early-day American Hitler. The demonstration was part of an ongoing campaign by the local Indian community to combat the legacy of Jackson.
