The cherokee (along with other tribes) were relocated from southeastern US to the Indian Territory (present day Oklahoma) in which they have to travel long distance. Their homes were burned and their properties were destroyed. Farms were given to settler through Georgia Land Lottery. They were however promised 5 million dollar for the land.
During the relocation, many Indians were exposed to disease, starvation and cold where 4000 out of 15000 Cherokee died. Some were killed along the way.
There are some tribes like Oconaluftee, Cherokee from Nnantahala area and the ones who married with white who were allowed to stay.
