Did the Cherokee Indians fight against the Sioux?

Answer 1

As a general statement, No. The Cherokee (Tsalagi) assimilated to European ways of life faster than most other tribes, as they were an agriculturally based non-migratory tribe. That is not to say however that they were all peaceful or did not raid white settlements because they did, just not as often or as much as some of the other more famous raiding tribes

Answer 2

Answer 3

Not directly (if at all). The Cherokee, at their closest point on the map, were several hundred miles from the Sioux. There are no reports that I am aware of that the Cherokee served as scouts for the US Army.

Answer 4

Yes, and several tribes. Most of these wars were from European alliances, as an example: The Shawnee were aligned with France, and the Cherokee were aligned with Britain, when too many Shawnee encroached on Cherokee land they were expelled through a war. (War of 1710)
