The Cherokee people (pronounced: Chair-a-key) were and still are a group of native Americans that inhabit States in the South eastern part of the US. Before they were found by European discoverers they owned most of, what is now, Kentucky, Virginia, Tennessee, Georgia, and both north and south Carolina. Being one of the most prosperous Native American tribes, they were able to take back some of their original land as well as acquire most of half of Oklahoma, after the US government exploited them, as well as other native American people.
