Best Answer

The Tsalagi (Cherokee) moved because of forced relocations and pressure by settlers. Originally the tribes were located around the modern states of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Carolina, and Kentucky. Please note that this is general locations as there was no 'borders' as exist today.

During the "Relocation" era, they were forced off their lands and given land in Indian Territory, what is now known as Oklahoma.

Currently there are three main locations for the Tsalagi people; Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Tennessee.

Before the Getsikhuda Anegvul (Trail of Tears), Tsalagi lived primarily in Georgia and Alabama, but White Man forced them out to build their own colonies, and they spread out around Tsiyahi (Oklahoma) and Northern Texas.

Prior to the white settlers coming to America, the Cherokee Indians mainly lived in the Blue Ridge Mountains areas. After the settlers invaded the southern areas the Cherokee Indians were forced to move west to Oklahoma. This is also known as the Trail of Tears as many Cherokee Indians died during that move.

Yes there was a band of Cherokee in Texas, when they refused to leave without gathering their crops the Texas Rangers and local citizens burned their crops and killed most of them (The Texas Rangers used a 'scorched earth' policy with indians).
