Federation Colony / Expedition Database - Dorvan V Colony

	History:
	Dorvan V. Class-M planet located in the border area between Federation and Cardassian space. A group of North American Indians from Earth settled there in 2350 and established a village in a small valley on the southern continent. These people had originally left Earth 200 years ago in order to preserve their cultural identity. In 2370 the Federation-Cardassian treaty placed Dorvan V under Cardassian jurisdiction. As a result, Enterprise-D captain Picard was ordered by Admiral Necheyev to evacuate the colonists by any means necessary. The settlers refused to leave, but succeeded in convincing Starfleet to allow them to renounce their Federation citizenships. In doing so, the colonists willingly placed themselves under Cardassian rule. TNG "Journey's End" ; Star Trek Encyclopedia II
