History[edit | edit source]

The Spanish explorer De Soto was the first to encounter the Cheroke in the1540's.

During the French and India War and the Revolutionary War the tribe supported the British.

By 1820 a group that had tired of the encroachmentof settlers migrated to Indian Territory which is now Arkansas.

Sequoya (George Grist) a mixed blood, developed the Cherokee alphabet, helping to make the tribe a literate people.

In the 1830's gold was discovered in their Nation, this became a catalist for removal.  With the signing of the Treaty of New Echota, December 29, 1835 the tribe sold their remaining land and greed to move west of the Mississippi. 

The removal  to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) occured in the winter of 1838-1839, with a 800 mile journey, this became known as the "Trail of Tears", with a loss of one-fourth of their tribe.  They joined an earlier group known as "old settlers" who had been in Arkansas. Another group that had been in Mexico (Texas) was forced by government troops to move, they went to the mountains of North Carolin where in 1842, they obtained permision to stay.  The Texas group are now a part of the Eastern Band of Cherokee.

The Cherokee were slave owners, and and resided in areas encompassed by southern influence many of them enlisted in the Confederate Army.  A Treaty signed in 1866 remitted them to the United States.  They were required to release their slaves.

In 1870 some Delaware and Shawnee from Kansas were admitted to the tribe.

There are three band of Cherokee recognized by the Federal government; Cherokee Nation, Eastern Band of Cherokee, and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee
