During Indian removals, many Native tribes were attempting to find loopholes in treaties to be able to stay on their native lands. One of the loopholes included gaining permission to stay from the English government. Most of the people who were successful at gaining the exemption were well respected by the English or they claimed they would become civilized Americans. The second option included hiding out and hoping not to be found by the soldiers. Lastly, the Natives could have become members of a community that was exempted from removal. Constructing an underground refugee transportation route, and utilizing allies between other natives and English allowed for the Cherokee to resist removal from their native lands.
