The "Eastern Band of Cherokee" were not relocated because they accepted "State Citizenship" to avoid a US law that required them to be removed from their lands.
Also, many claimed to be Black Dutch or Black Irish instead of being Cherokee, so that they wouldn't be driven from their homelands. The descendants of the "Black Dutch" are now considered disenfranchised and unrecognized Indians.

In the Trail of Tears which Cherokees did not get relocated and why?
Roughly 2000 Some Cherokee (and other tribes) chose to stay in their homeland and in the case of the Cherokee, became 'citizens' of the state where they were located as to avoid being relocated. Some went to Oklahoma and then returned because they didn't like the conditions there. The choice was to stay and become an 'American Citizen' or be removed.
Why were the cherkees moved?
I assume you are referring to the Cherokees, who were a tribe of what were then called "Indians." Sadly, as the United States grew and expanded, a number of Americans believed that they had a right to the land inhabited by the Indians, and many tribes were forcibly moved, often relocated to reservations under brutal conditions. In 1838, residents of Georgia decided they wanted the land the Cherokees occupied. In the event known today as the "Trail of Tears," the Georgia Cherokees were driven from their land and forced to march nearly 1000 miles to their new home in Oklahoma. It was a very arduous journey, and many of the Cherokees died along the way.
