Like most Indians, some live on reservations and some do not.
The Eastern Band of Cherokee in North Carolina do not live on a reservation (despite the big sign that welcomes visitors). The Eastern Band live on land that was purchased for them by William Holland Thomas, a former Cherokee chief (adopted son of former Chief Yonaguska) in the mid 19th century. The land is held in trust by the United States government. The Western Band in Oklahoma do not have a reservation, they have jurisdiction over 14 counties. The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee also have a jurisdiction in Oklahoma that is technically not a reservation. Cherokees are also scattered throughout the 50 states and all the world.

Where are most of the Cherokee tribe located?
There is only one "Cherokee Reservation" in existence, that is located in North Carolina and held by the Eastern Band of Cherokee. It is not a 'normal' reservation however, in that it recognizes a line and defines land holders within 100 miles of that line to be 'in' the reservation. The "Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma" has jurisdiction over several counties there, but it is NOT a reservation. The state of Oklahoma is in itself a 'reservation' to indians.
