The text explores their origins, their forced removal westward on the “Trail of Tears,” and the establishment of the Eastern Band of Cherokee. It also highlights notable figures like Sequoya, who developed a Cherokee syllabary, and William H. Thomas, who advocated for the Eastern Band’s right to remain in North Carolina. The website offers numerous links to additional resources for those seeking more in-depth information about the Cherokee.
