The Cherokee Indians were originally located in the lower left-hand corner of North Carolina and the lower right-hand corner of Tennessee. Their territory went down into Georgia and Alabama too, in their top right and top left corners. (left corner of GA and right corner of AL)

But they were forced to move along with the Seminole, Creek, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Indian tribes to the state we now call Oklahoma. We call their move the Trail of Tears and they traveled from 1838-39.

The relocating of the Indian Tribes took about 10 years and the Trail of Tears was a march that spanned 60,000 miles, and 5 states.

States they crossed:

Seminole Indians had to go from Florida through Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas.

Cherokees went from TN/GA/AL and through Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri and Arkansas.

The Creeks went from Alabama through Tennessee and Arkansas.

The Chicasaws went from Mississippi and through Arkansas.

The Choctaws left Mississippi and went through Arkansas.

Seems like they all went through Arkansas! :)
