following the french and indian war/seven years' war, the british troops invaded and captured the spanish cities of havana in cuba and manila in the philippines in 1762. the treaty of paris (1763) gave spain control over the louisiana part of new france including new orleans, creating a spanish empire that stretched from the mississippi river to the pacific ocean; but spain also ceded florida to great britain in order to regain cuba, which the british occupied during the war. louisiana settlers, hoping to restore the territory to france, in the bloodless rebellion of 1768 forced the louisiana governor antonio de ulloa to flee to spain. the rebellion was crushed in 1769 by the next governor alejandro o'reilly, who executed five of the conspirators. the louisiana territory was to be administered by superiors in cuba with a governor on site in new orleans.

the name of the group originated in 1978 and in 1991, after learning more of their history, changed to northern cherokee nation of the old louisiana territory. in an attempt to gain gambling and bingo rights in missouri, an illegal election was held at which time a group usurped the northern cherokee name and attempted to steal the not for profit corporation that has been held by the northern cherokee nation of the old louisiana territory since 1982. after this was discovered, the new group was indicted by a cole county grand jury, thus ending the attempt. unfortunately, due to confusion, the northern cherokee which began as one people, splintered off into other groups which included the northern cherokee nation of arkansas and missouri in the same year; a separate splinter became the sac river and white river bands of the chickamauga cherokee indian nation of arkansas and missouri, which had its own split producing the chickamauga cherokee nation white river band. today, the northern cherokee nation of the old louisiana territory, continues as the only group that has claims to state recognition in missouri and arkansas by way of two governor's proclamations and resolutions. however, the northern cherokee nation's claim of missouri state recognition is sometimes called misleading, because, according "to a master list maintained by the national conference of state legislatures, missouri recognizes no indian tribes except those recognized by the federal government." the original northern cherokee nation claimed to have been organized since the late 18th century. the headquarters of this group is located in columbia, missouri.
