Considering how poorly treated the Cherokee were by colonists in georgia and other surrounding states, the Cherokee could hardly be defined as killing "so many" colonists.
Colonists who were killed included those who broke treaties and senate laws and forced settled Cherokee indian villagers to leave their land, killing Cherokee indians in their homes. Colonists refused Cherokee accesss to education, hassled their church (christian) contacts and services, and behaved like traitorous rednecks, as maybe their current descendents do now.
For all the grief the colonists gave the Cherokeee, the Cherokee took very little opportunities to exact revenge, and never attacked colonists without reason - in fact many in the southern areas were intermarrying with white colonists.
