Cherokee Nation, Federally recognized Native American tribe in Oklahoma, United States.
The Cherokee Nation manages a reservation spanning 14 counties in northeastern Oklahoma, with its governmental headquarters located in the city of Tahlequah.
The Cherokee Nation was established in 1839 after the forced relocation of thousands of Cherokee people from their southeastern homeland during the Trail of Tears.
The Cherokee Heritage Center preserves and teaches traditional arts, language, and customs while maintaining historical archives and conducting educational programs for future generations.
The Nation provides healthcare services, housing assistance, and educational support to over 466,000 enrolled members through various facilities across their reservation territory.
The Cherokee language utilizes a distinct syllabary writing system created by Sequoyah in the 1820s, making it one of few Native American languages with its own script.
