The Cherokee Indians created a culture that has survived even to the modern day. People can observe the Cherokee Indian way of life by simply visiting the Cherokee Indian Reservation in Cherokee, NC. Although this is the only acknowledge reservation, there are Cherokee land bases in Oklahoma as well. Prior to the Cherokee removal via the Trail of Tears, the Cherokee Indians created a culture that included their own religious beliefs, politics, social organization and beliefs according to equality of women. Although this seemed radically different from the European societies at the time, settlers made a noticeable impression on these characteristics of the society. The outcome is the Cherokee society and way of life that is now prevalent on the reservation. This website is intended to inform visitors about the Cherokee Indian culture prior to removal.
