[edit] Fair use for Cherokee Freedmen Controversy

Though this image is subject to copyright, its use is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because:

It is a historically significant photo of Native Americans of Cherokee Ancestry across a diverse racial spectrum.
It is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality).
The image is only being used for informational purposes.
The image was produced and distributed by a Federally Recognized Indian Nation into the public domain without any copyright notices or restrictions.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because the photo and its historical significance are the object of discussion in the article.
