 White Dove's Native American Indian Site Boudinot, Elias (Boudinott aka: Buck Watie, Galagina [Kaikeena])
Elias Boudinot (or Boudinott; he was also known as Buck Watie or Galagina [Kiakeena]) epitomizes the generation of Cherokee leaders who guided their people through a profound cultural transformation.
Buck Watie, as Boudinot was known to the missionaries, enrolled in school in 1811, and he proved so apt that a representative of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, an underdenominational organization headquartered in Boston, invited Buck, his cousin John Ridge, and another boy to attend the Foreign Mission School in Cornwall, Connecticut.
Despite his ignominious demise, however, Elias Boudinot had helped foster adaptability and resilience among the Cherokees, qualities that enabled his nation to survive the trauma of removal, to rebuild in the West, and to endure the present.
