+[[Image:{{CherColl}}]]The most prominent early Indian tribes in Tennessee were the Cherokee and the Chickasaw. The Chickasaws claimed most of western Tennessee as their hunting grounds. The Cherokees claimed southeastern Tennessee and northeast Georgia as their homeland. By 1818, the Chickasaws had ceded their land away by treaty to the State of Tennessee. <br><br>
 The majority of Cherokees living in Tennessee were forced to go to the Indian Territory (now a part of Oklahoma) in the 1830s. A few hid in the mountains bordering Tennessee and North Carolina. "Documenting descent from Native Americans who did not remove from Tennessee is usually a major challenge."<ref>Gale Williams Bamman, CG, "Research in Tennessee," ''National Genealogical Society Quarterly'', Vol. 81, No. 2 (Jun. 1993): 111-113. {{FHL|39597|title-id|disp=FHL&amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;nbsp;US/CAN Book 973 B2ng v. 81 (1993)}}.</ref> People suspecting such descent may wish to consider Native American DNA tests, such as those available through [http://www.familytreedna.com/ FamilyTreeDNA]&nbsp;(while being aware of the limitations of such tests).
 See [[Indians of Oklahoma|Indians of Oklahoma]] for information about the five civilized tribes and their records in Oklahoma.
