The Cherokee are the largest Native American group in the United States. They once lived around the Great Lakes. After battles with other tribes, they moved to what is now the southeastern United States. Today they live mostly in Oklahoma.

The Cherokee traditionally grew corn, beans, and squash. They hunted deer, bear, and elk. They lived in log cabins with roofs made of bark.

Europeans arrived in Cherokee territory in the middle of the 1500s. By that time the Cherokee lived in the Southeast. Over the next 200 years the Cherokee lost much of their land and power to white settlers.

After 1800 the Cherokee took on some parts of white culture. They formed a government based on that of the United States. A man named Sequoyah created a writing system for the Cherokee language. Most Cherokee learned to read and write. Whites called the Cherokee one of the Five Civilized Tribes, along with the Choctaw, the Seminole, the Chickasaw, and the Creek.

In the 1830s gold was discovered on Cherokee land in Georgia. Georgia officials and the U.S. government forced the Cherokee to leave their land and march west. About 4,000 Cherokee died on the journey, which is called the Trail of Tears.

Most Cherokee settled in what is now northeastern Oklahoma. Their descendants still live there. Some Cherokee live in western North Carolina. They are descendants of Cherokee who escaped into the mountains in the 1830s. In the late 20th century there were more than 280,000 Cherokee living in the United States.
