The gift shop at Tahlequah

Oklahoma · USA · Haunted site

A visitor watched an Indian policeman, about thirty, standing in the shop keeping an eye on two women who were taking bracelets.

A family living just over the state line in Arkansas used to drive into Oklahoma, and on one such trip they were in a gift shop at Tahlequah.

In the shop was an Indian policeman, a man of about thirty, watching two women who were stealing bracelets.

What happened when the women noticed him is the account.

He is understood to watch over the store.

Tahlequah is the capital of the Cherokee Nation, and the Cherokee had their own police force, the Lighthorse, established before removal and continued in Indian Territory afterwards. They were the law here for decades, in a territory where federal marshals were few and far between.

A figure keeping order in a shop on Cherokee ground is a good deal more coherent than most accounts in this archive.

The shops in Tahlequah are open and the Cherokee Nation's own museums are worth the visit.
