Chasing History: Cherokee Treaty Site on Long Island, Kingsport, TN
Check out this interesting video about Long Island in North East Tennessee. A fantastic video from our very good friend Chase Pipes

Today it is covered in businesses and factories but the Eastman Chemical Company (who originally built on the island) has donated a few acres for a park and one back to the Cherokee nation.
