Answer:
Cherokee, North American Indians of Iroquoian lineage who constituted one of the largest politically integrated tribes at the time of European colonization of the Americas. Their name is derived from a Creek word meaning “people of different speech”; many prefer to be known as Keetoowah or Tsalagi. Cherokee tribe mined gold on their southern territories . During the Trail of Tears the Native Americans were unfairly treated and sometimes ended up paying the price (death). The Native Americans were pushed around by the trail guards acting like they were superior to them in every way possible
Beginning in 1791 a series of treaties between the United States and the Cherokees living in Georgia gave recognition to the Cherokee as a nation with their own laws and customs. Nevertheless, treaties and agreements gradually whittled away at their land base, and in the late 1700s some Cherokees sought refuge from white interference by moving to land between the White and Arkansas Rivers (present day northwest Arkansas). As more and more land cessions were forced on the Cherokees during the first two decades of the 1800s, the number moving to Arkansas increased. Then in 1819, the Cherokee National Council notified the federal government that it would no longer cede land, thus hardening their resolve to remain on their traditional homelands
