Description

The Cherokee are one of the most largest Native American tribes in the USA, with more than three hundred thousand people across the country claiming tribal membership and nearly a million people across the world professing to have a minimum of one Cherokee Indian ancestor. On this revealing history of Cherokee migration and resettlement, Gregory Smithers uncovers the origins of the Cherokee diaspora and explores how communities and individuals have negotiated their Cherokee identities, even when geographically got rid of from the Cherokee Nation headquartered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Beginning in the eighteenth century, the writer transports the reader back in time to tell the poignant story of the Cherokee people migrating right through North The us, including their forced exile along the infamous Trail of Tears (1838–39). Smithers tells a remarkable story of courage, cultural innovation, and resilience, exploring the importance of migration and removal, land and tradition, culture and language in defining what it has meant to be Cherokee for a widely scattered people.
