The Story of the Cherokee Indians: From the Past to the Present

By Yvonne N Tiger

Story of the Cherokee Indians, The: From the Past to the Present covers the complex history of the Cherokee people. Tribe members were one Cherokee Nation before the movement of the Old Settlers to Oklahoma began their split, forming the Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and was followed by the Trail of Tears, in which more than 4,000 tribe members perished, with those remaining becoming the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

This book presents the wide-ranging history of the Cherokee People, demonstrating their resilience in overcoming the adversities they faced and becoming successful nations. Complementing chapters are sidebars, profiles of notable figures, a timeline, and a bibliography that provide readers with key points and additional materials for further research. The author, a Cherokee scholar, offers a story that encompasses the history of the Cherokee and their continuing survival.
