The Cherokee are an American Indian Nation, that wasoriginally from what is now much of the southeastern United States, Cherokee lands used to be almost all of Tennessee, much of North Carolina, and also spread through Virgina, Georgia, Kentucky, West Virginia, Alabama and South Carolina. Cherokee had a unique culture, and are the largest Indian Nation today. The Cherokee traditional Religion has been said to be the most like the Abrahamic Religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) out of all other religions known. Cherokee were fearsome and skilled warriors, known throughout the lands, the historic "arch rival" Nation to the Cherokee were the neighboring Chickasaw. Seven clans made up Cherokee society, Cherokee were born into your mother's clan and they could not marry into their mother's clan, this custom kept you from marrying relatives. Cherokee made fairly advanced homes, and the capital was Echota, no crime was allowed here. Cherokee were involved in a terrible episode known as the Trail of Tears, and it is probably the most well known point in time throughout Cherokee history, was when the United States government forced the Cherokee out of their Native lands after they had assimilated quite well for the most part with the invading races of men. They were forced into Oklahoma, well over 4000 Cherokee died on this Trail of Tears, however a large amount of Cherokee took refuge in the Smokey Mountains and escaped removal. In spite of this Cherokee culture has lived on, today most Cherokee live in Oklahoma, Tennessee and North Carolina. But they have spread throughout much of the USA, and intermarried with many other groups of people.
This term is used properly in "Context" and depends on the person / agency using it.
Cherokee is a general descriptor of the Tsalagi (which sounds close to Cherokee when pronounced) people, a "First nations" or "Indigenous" tribal people that lived in North America before the discovery of that continent by Europe.
It may also mean, one who is descended from that ancestry.
By "Cherokee Nation Law" it means a man or woman that is at least 1/8th blood under the blood quantum test and who appears on the Dawes Rolls.
By "Federal Indian Law" it means any man or woman who has an ancestor that is Cherokee (by any degree).
By "Eastern Band of Cherokee" law it means any person who appears on the Guion Miller rolls, and was granted allotments under that judgment.
Please Note: Several definitions surround the amount of blood, and its related meanings to "what" makes someone a Cherokee and what does not. Most will agree that a significant portion of this definition is blood-lines & spiritual orientation.
