On November 28, 1785, the Treaty of Hopewell was signed between the US Representative Benjamin Hawkins and the Cherokee Indians. The treaty laid out a Western boundary for white settlement.
The treaty gave rise to the sardonic Cherokee phrase of Talking Leaves, since they claimed that when the treaties no longer suited the Americans, they would blow away like talking leaves.
