The Cherokee are one of the largest Native American tribes in the United States, with
more than three hundred thousand people across the country claiming tribal membership
and nearly one million people internationally professing to have at least one Cherokee
Indian ancestor. In this revealing history of Cherokee migration and resettlement,
Gregory Smithers uncovers the origins of the Cherokee Diaspora and explores how communities
and individuals have negotiated their Cherokee identities, even when geographically
removed from the Cherokee Nation headquartered in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Beginning in
the eighteenth century, the author transports the reader back in time to tell the
poignant story of the Cherokee people migrating throughout North America, including
their forced exile along the infamous Trail of Tears (1838-39). Smithers tells a remarkable
story of courage, cultural innovation, and resilience, exploring the importance of
migration and removal, land and tradition, culture and language in defining what it
has meant to be Cherokee for a widely scattered people
