Cherokee leaders signed away the rights of members of their tribes
To Indian Territory (now known as Oklahoma) through 11 states.
When the Cherokees arrived in Oklahoma during the 1830s, following their forced removal known as the Trail of Tears, they faced significant challenges. The land was unfamiliar, and they had to adapt to new agricultural practices and establish homes in a region that was often hostile. Despite these hardships, the Cherokees worked to rebuild their community, establishing schools, churches, and a government, striving to maintain their cultural identity in the face of adversity. Over time, they began to thrive in their new environment, developing a vibrant society.

The indians were seen as obstacles and they were gathered and driven from their homelands. For example, the Cherokees and Chawktaws were driven from the deep south to Oklahoma on what became known as "the trail of tears."
It was the removal of the cherokees.
The Cherokees celebrated by holding festivals. During these festivals the tribe members would do a lot of singing, and dancing.
The Cherokee Nation allied itself with the United Kingdom and fought against the Patriots during and after the Revolutionary war. Perhaps some of the reaction to the Cherokee's in later years involving the infamous Taail of Tears is a result of that interaction.

In the Trail of Tears, about 4,000 of the 16,000 Cherokee Indians died to their new journey to Oklahoma from Georgia.
Jesse Smoke was a member of the Cherokee Nation who lived in the areas that were part of the southeastern United States, specifically in what is now Georgia. During the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, he, like many other Cherokees, was forcibly removed from his homeland and relocated to designated Indian Territory, which is present-day Oklahoma. The journey was marked by hardship and suffering, as thousands of Native Americans faced disease, starvation, and death along the way.
