The Cherokee are a people native to North America, who, at the time of European contact in the sixteenth century, inhabited what is now the Eastern and Southeastern United States. Most were forcibly moved westward to the Ozark Plateau in the 1830s. They are one of the tribes referred to as the Five Civilized Tribes. According to the 2000 U.S. Census, they are the largest of the 563 federally recognized Native American tribes in the United States. The Cherokee refer to themselves as Tsa-la-gi or A-ni-yv-wi-ya - which literally translates as "Principal People"

Cherokee Nation
The Cherokee Nation originally resided in the southeastern United States, primarily in areas that are now part of North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Tennessee. However, after the forced removal known as the Trail of Tears in the 1830s, many Cherokees were relocated to what is now Oklahoma. Today, the Cherokee Nation's headquarters is located in Tahlequah, Oklahoma.
In the 1700's, the Cherokee lived mainly in the southern and south central part of what is now the United States. There were smaller tribes dispersed throughout the nation.
