The Cherokee tribe is the largest tribe of Native American Indians. Cherokee Indians were originally from the Great Smoky Mountains but have now spread out over all 48 states and in Canada as well. The Cherokee Indian tribe has a rich history and ancestry that dates back several hundred years.
Tribal art is an American Indian art form that has been practiced for thousands of years. Tribal art is generally characterized by use of bright colors and geometric shapes. Many people think that Native American paintings are simple and only consist of black, white and red colors. However, you will find that there are many different types of tribal art and many different colors that are used within these paintings.
I have collected information about the history of the Cherokee Indians, their tribes, what it means to be a part of this tribe, and some pictures for you to look at.**
Native American Artifacts are a great way to learn about the history of the Cherokee tribe. Reading these pieces of art allow you to travel through time and learn about the different events that occurred in the past. They also help you learn about what it was like for the Indian people during this time.
Native American artifacts are not just objects that were made by different tribes, they are also storytelling pieces. If you were to look at them, you would be able to see how the Indian people were during their time. You would be able to see what they had and what they needed. The artifacts tell a story and they tell it very well.
The Cherokee are native Americans who originally lived in the southeastern United States and spoke a unique language. The name “Cherokee” came from the Iroquois word “Tsalagi.” The Cherokee were forced westward on the Trail of Tears, which resulted in thousands of deaths, and settled into Oklahoma. The Cherokee currently have a population of over 200,000 people in the United States.

When I was in college I belonged to the Cherokee Club. As a proud member of the Cherokee Nation, I traveled back home to Oklahoma every weekend where I could ride horses, go to pow-wows, and meet up with some of my family members. After graduating from college I moved away from Oklahoma, but I have always been interested in my native background. When I was given the opportunity to review some Native American artwork, I jumped at the chance.

The history of the great Cherokee Nation is marked by a strong and vibrant culture that infused all aspects of life. In addition to their rich heritage, the Cherokee people developed some of the greatest art forms in North America.
The Cherokee people are believed to have migrated from Asia around 2,000 years ago. The name “Cherokee” is derived from a Iroquois word meaning “people who live in the mountains.” The tribe soon settled into what is now western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee. They became known as one of the most resourceful and advanced tribes in North America.
Tribal members were farmers, hunters, gatherers and traders – they had strong diplomatic ties with other tribes and nations throughout the area, including those in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois and the Carolinas. As an agrarian society, they grew crops such as beans, corn, squash, pumpkins and tobacco along with native fruits such as persimmons and grapes. Women used gourds for utensils while men fashioned weapons such as bows and arrows out of wood.*
