Eastern Band of the Cherokee are the only tribe that wasn’t conquered by the U.S. Army according to Yona FrenchHawk. The following is from the introduction of the Records of the Moravians among the Cherokee.

Vol. II: 1752 to 1775

“Many of the Moravians identified with the Cherokee plight, Crews said, because many of them had been driven out of Europe.

‘We knew what it was like to have your ancestral homelands taken over by someone else,’ he said.

The Cherokee had several nicknames for the Moravians, including "The Quiet Ones." They also referred to them as "The Ravens" and "The Black Coats" both names in recognition of the black suits the missionaries were fond of wearing.”
