What religion did the cherokees indians use?
The Cherokee people like many Native tribes have their own beliefs. They have a traditional belief system that has been around since the tribe was first founded.
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.
Did the Cherokee Indians have shamans?
Once upon a time when many of the tribes lived close together with the Mayans, the Cherokee had Shamans, as did the other tribes. But something bad happened. The Shamans, or Priests, as they were sometimes called, began literally expelling the hearts of people instead of symbolically, when they were suppose to be healing individuals. The Shamans/Priests began killing the people of all tribes in a madness of supposedly ridding the world of evil. The tribes separated. Then the Cherokee killed out all the Shamans from their tribe. It became against the law of the nation to be a Shaman. That is why until this day a true Cherokee Medicine Man will not admit he is a Medicine Man. It is for the tribe to say if he is a true Medicine Man, for the tribe to say if he has this Medicine. Evening Star*
Was the Wimes family in the Cherokee Indian tribe?
There are two sets of "rolls" that determine if your family is considered to be part of the Cherokee Tribe. The Dawes Rolls and the Guion Miller Rolls. Please note however that there were many Cherokee that would run or refuse to enter their names on these rolls as they saw it as a death sentence. You need to search these rolls and find your family names there, if possible, but please remember that these rolls are not the 'end all' decider of your bloodlines; but they are the officially used rolls to make legal determinations by those two tribal authorities. You can still be of Cherokee decent, just not officially recognized for government programs etc.
What does the word Cherokee mean in Creek language?
The name Cherokee is really Tsalagi - colonists were unable to pronounce it properly and so they used Cherokee as a close substitute. Historically there is a lot of debate over what it meant, most popular is that it meant "Tree People" or "People of the tree's." In modern usage Tsalagi means "Real People" which has a very hard to explain cultural distinction behind it.
