Where are the Cherokee from?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

The Cherokee tribe originated in North Carolina, eventually spreading throughout the southeastern United States. After people discovered gold on Cherokee land in the state of Georgia, President Andrew Jackson ignored Cherokee land rights, eventually forcing the Cherokee (and many other tribes) to move west of the Mississippi River, into present day Oklahoma. Some Cherokee managed to hide in the mountains of North Carolina, to remain in their homeland. Today, the Cherokee nation is divided into the Eastern Band (in North Carolina) and the Cherokee Nation (Oklahoma).

Answer 3

Cherokee's come from Cherokee's (a theory of Procreation). If you go back far enough, a lot of scientist have shown that all North American natives crossed a land bridge during the ice age, so Mongolia if you go back far enough. Cherokee's believe however that they were created on or around the 'Blue Mountain' where they lived.

Answer 4

They migrated from their ancestral lands, that we now call Cherokee Nation. It was located in the southeastern U.S.(in what is now the Carolinas) for hundreds of years, prior to the arrival of European people.

Answer 2

The Cherokee established their home in the mountains of North Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina. Most of the tribe was relocated to the Indian Nations in Oklahoma, where they reside today. This band is known as the Cherokee Nation.

The Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation are the descendents of those that managed to escape the infamous "Trail of Tears" relocation to Oklahoma. They live on their ancestral lands in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, in the town of Cherokee, on the Oconaluftee River.
