Where did the Cherokee originate from?

Answer 1

The Cherokee didn't immigrate from Africa, they were here several thousands of years before regular contact occurred between the two continents. Another viewpoint:

The Cherokee didn't immigrate from Africa, they came from Israel. This has been proven by a DNA link between every Cherokee and Ashkenazi Jews from ancient times.

Answer 2

The Cherokee, ᏣᎳᎩ or Tsalagi in their own language, were originally in the modern States of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and East Tennessee. Oral tradition says the tribe migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples live.

Between 1817 and the 1830s almost all of them were forced to move in the Trail of Tears to Oklahoma.

The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians was able to stay in North Carolina. There are two State recognized bands in Georgia, 1 in Kentucky, 1 in South Carolina, 1 in Tenn., 4 in Alabama, and about 70-80 unrecognized groups across many states.

Today there are around 314,000 enrolled members and about 819,000 who claim Cherokee ancestry.

Answer 3

The Cherokee Tribe originally came from the middle-eastern parts of the Asia continent.They passed through the Bering strait AKA: the land bridge.

Answer 2:

Mormon's contend that: The Cherokees came across the Atlantic at about 589 B. C. They were originally from Israel. (Recent DNA research shows that Cherokees are descended from the Ashkenazi Jews).

NOTE: A 2009 Report refutes this claim (see link) the DNA is divergent, meaning it changed, approximately 30,000 years ago. or 22,000 years before The Bible was written (or Babylon was built).
