Today, members of the Cherokee people may live just about anywhere. However, the largest concentration will be on or near the two reservations. One is in Oklahoma, the other in North Carolina.
'neverending journey'
Cherokee, or Tsalagi or the Principal People, are a Native American tribe originally from Georgia or the Carolinas and were forced by Andrew Jackson from their home to Oklahoma and nearby areas on a journey called the Trail of Tears.
Cherokee
To begin with, the Cherokee resided in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Eastern Tennessee. After the Indian Removal Act, they were forced to relocate to Oklahoma. Today three recognized tribes exist, two in Oklahoma and one in western North Carolina. There are also some tribes unrecognized by the federal government, such as the Echota Cherokee Tribe of Alabama
The Cherokee were forced to march from Georgia.
The government created and enforced many "trails of tears". The one that history records made most famous was that of the Cherokee. Forced to walk thousands of miles from Georgia to Oklahoma, four thousand Indians are thought to have died. This removal was against the findings of the Supreme Court of the United States who said the Cherokee would have to agree with the removal. They never did.
The Kickapoo were not part of the resettlement plan that is known as the "Trail of Tears". According to Wikipedia the "Trail of Tears" refers to the forced removal of the Cherokee from Georgia to Oklahoma in 1838.
