About 200 years ago the Cherokee Indians were one tribe, or "Indian Nation" that lived in the southeast part of what is now the United States. During the 1830's and 1840's, the period covered by the Indian Removal Act, many Cherokees were moved west to a territory that is now the State of Oklahoma.

The trail of tears
If you mean Indian Territory in southeast Kansas, they left for there in early spring of 1869.
In the early 19th century, following various treaties, several thousand Cherokees voluntarily moved to the Arkansas Territory. Estimates suggest that around 1,000 to 2,000 Cherokees relocated to this area during this period, primarily seeking better opportunities and land. This voluntary migration occurred before the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears, which led to the displacement of many more Cherokees to Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma).
The Trail of Tears was the relocation and movement of Native Americans from their homelands to Indian Territory (Oklahoma).
