The Cherokee People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781482419771)

The Cherokee is the largest native tribe in the United States today. Their history dates back 15,000 years, when their ancestors made the long trek to North America from Asia. Readers will find out where the Cherokee originally settled, where and why they migrated, and what happened when European settlers encroached on Cherokee land, with special attention to the infamous Trail of Tears march of 1838-1839. This valuable account makes note of the Cherokee people's extraordinary resilience in rebuilding their culture on reservations and beyond, despite great obstacles.
