Are Cherokee Indians southeast natives?

Not traditionally. The original Cherokee land spread from present day Tennessee to the Atlantic coast, and from the Virginias to Georgia. The eastern tribe remains in the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee. A portion of the tribe was force moved to Oklahoma Territory in 1836-7, and the western reservation is there now.


Where are the Cherokee from?

The Cherokee are from lands that are now part of the USA. They were originaly a powerful tribe in the region of North and South Carolina and moved successfully to adopt many elements of the surrounding white culture following the American Revolution. During the Presidency of Andrew Jackson, they were forced to give up their lands and relocate to what is now the state of Oklahoma, but was then called the Indian Territory. Cherokee lawyers appealed the order to mive through the courts and the US Supreme Court foud in their favor, but Jackson refused to comply with their decision. The move from North Carolina to the Indian Territory is called the Trail of Tears because so many died along the way due to the haste required and the poor support offered by government officials. Some Cherokee ressisted the relocation, took to the hills, and remained in the Carolinas. As a result, the Cherokee now exist as two Tribes, the Eastern Cherokee and the Western Cherokee.


Where in the US did the Cherokee Indians live?

The Tsalagi (Cherokee) moved because of forced relocations and pressure by settlers. Originally the tribes were located around the modern states of Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, Carolina, and Kentucky. Please note that this is general locations as there was no 'borders' as exist today. During the "Relocation" era, they were forced off their lands and given land in Indian Territory, what is now known as Oklahoma. Currently there are three main locations for the Tsalagi people; Oklahoma, North Carolina, and Tennessee. Before the Getsikhuda Anegvul (Trail of Tears), Tsalagi lived primarily in Georgia and Alabama, but White Man forced them out to build their own colonies, and they spread out around Tsiyahi (Oklahoma) and Northern Texas.
