The Cherokee's first lived in what is now Arkansas and portions of southern North Carolina. In fact, by a signed treaty the Cherokee entered into an agreement with the United States to take the land, now known as Arkansas and formed "The Cherokee Nation." When gold was discovered in Arkansas, General Tyler was dispatched to 'relocate' the Cherokee Nation, although they were a viable entity. This move characterized by 'The Trail of Tears' is when the Cherokee were relocated to Oklahoma; in an attempt to kill all Cherokee's General and later President Tyler issued blankets infected with the small pox virus to the freezing Cherokee.
