The Cherokees are one of the largest Native American tribes in the United States, originally inhabiting the southeastern regions, including parts of present-day North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. Known for their rich culture, complex social structure, and advancements in governance, they developed a written syllabary created by Sequoyah in the early 19th century. However, their history is marked by the tragic Trail of Tears in the 1830s, when thousands were forcibly removed from their ancestral lands, leading to significant loss of life and cultural disruption. Today, the Cherokee Nation continues to thrive, preserving their heritage while engaging in modern governance and economic development.
