I'm Cherokee Indian, White, and black. When I'm around these 3 cultures of people individually, I can feel that side of me come out. I'm just now learning more about my Cherokee culture. I always felt that living by the mountains was where I felt more comfortable living. Now I see why.

The Eastern Band are not technically referred to as the Eastern Cherokee Nation. The proper name of the tribe is: "The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians." The Cherokee Nation are those descendants of the Cherokee who immigrated west to Oklahoma as a result of the Indian Removal Act of 1830.

Love the video reminds me of being there my father is Cherokee we lived in Jackson NC and then Hendersonville NC (which is where my father grew up) sadly we left and moved to Nashville TN. I’ve always been very proud of my Cherokee blood (mixed with Jewish blood👎🏽) in my early 30s I decided I was done with the city life and wanted to get more in touch to who I was as a kid and teenager never leaving the woods never eating something I didn’t grow,catch or kill my self so I packed up and moved to The Land Between the Lakes to live a more humble and peaceful life.i do some day plan on moving back to North Carolina its always been home to me.
I am very proud that my mother brought me up to not only embrace my fathers Scottish heritage but to celebrate and embrace my Cherokee linage also. My Mother was Buelah Marie "Hugging bear"Arnett.
I'm not enough Irish to say I'm Irish I have a surname that's Irish but that's because of my grandfather who only has irish heritage from the irish potato famine.
I am Cherokee on my moma's side (South Carolina) and Scottish on my daddy's side (Alabama). My ppl hid in Appalachian Mountains to avoid The Trail Of Tears. They intermarried with the Scotts and Irish. So I was born and raised in the Deep South, where I am from. Oh! Both sides were Christians. Scott's were Presbyterian. And Cherokee were Southern Baptist. Much 💘 to everyone!

It's very interesting my great grandmother was born around 1870s her last name was Barnes and from Oklahoma a full blooded Cherokee that was adopted into a Hispanic family in New Mexico . Now understand where I get my looks 😆
Grandfather was 1/2 Cherokee. Raised in New Mexico so much Western influence as a child. Lived in Hope Mills N. C. for a little, kindergarten age but had no contact with my Grandfather's people. Thank you for your videos and Blessid be.
If your grandfather was only half blood and reproduced with someone who isn’t cherokee and then your parents aren’t cherokee. You’re not Cherokee. I mean no disrespect.
My heart broke when a group of Irish from Delaware, Maryland, and Kentucky said they killed my grandmother a native women and great granddaughter of a chief. I ask for tribals world wide for support. Her name was Rosalee M. Gustin who donated to many tribes. Originally Eskridge. I need support...
That's terrible !! What happened, and how were they able to tell you this, who are these Irish people ? Do they have an organization of some kind, or are a crime family ? My friend this is a hate crime and illegal. There are Native law firms that are online you can find, please tell them at once. Write down everything, record everything, take photos also. Make sure they don't find you. Good luck and my condolences for your grandmother ! I'm from the Southern Altai in Russia by the way.
This fantastic what educational learning tool to American Heritage, these individuals are doing great thing.

Thank you for still being, we own gradut to these individuals, alot died on trail of tears, very necessary treatment. 💙 God Bless you all.
Learn more for what? You’re not us so why would you want to learn about our culture? We don’t wanna learn about your culture so leave ours alone. Go learn more about your culture
@@SOCyak It isn’t protecting what’s ours to not let people learn about our culture. We are hurting ourselves if we don’t teach people about our ancestors and our heritage. We are supposed to share love and share what we know, and you, my friend, are simply gatekeeping as much as our culture. It’s not okay.
I feel like schools are missing out on the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation, the only think I remember from my high school American history class about the Cherokee was that they had been forcibly relocated during the Trail of Tears. It's a great lesson on how people can presevere and keep their culture even when forced to assimilate, and is much better then the "they were all left" narrative I remember.
I grew up hearing all the white kids at school saying they were Cherokee on their great grandmothers side. I still hear it today 25 yrs later from men at work. I live in Northern Ohio. Most of the kids/men have German surnames. I don’t know. Maybe they say that to make them feel more “real American” or people of the land. I’m sure it’s an honor that whites want to be Cherokee but seems everyone says that. At least where I am from. I’m Mexican / German American by the way. ...Cherokee have beautiful culture
I live in west Georgia. We have a lot of pine,oak and maple trees. Other than fire wood,I was wondering if anyone knew if the Cherokee or Creek people had any particular uses for these trees?
My mother is half Cherokee from Ok and i would love to get closer to my heritage Ive always felt a calling by the spirts. I've gone on a journey and seen my people dancing around me. I'm a worrier trap in a 2020 body
She’s from Oklahoma and is half Cherokee you most likely have close enough family on the Dawes roll for yourself to become a recognized member of Cherokee nation.
2 of my great grandmothers were cherokee native Americans from north Carolina. I have old photos of them. I have had people over the years ask me if there was native American in my family because i looked like i was part native American. Im proud of my native American roots.
Blackfoot, im still on the land my great great great grandmother was born, she married white and my grandfathers have made it to where the land and our tradions will always stay alive and in the family as will I. Thank you Father Jesus
I am descendant of the great Cherokee nation and irsh I'm sick at 52 year iv lived a not good life now I think of death I wish I knew elders who would let me live in nature untill I go infront of the great father peace be with your hearts trail of no more tears
The strength of the Cherokee Nation was commerce between it's various tribes. You can tell that the man at the trading post was a natural born salesman.
I am not Cherokee but my Great Great Grandfather was adopted by a chief. His name is Colonel, William Thomas. He was the first white man to be chief of the Cherokee people he bought the land for the Cherokee which is now the reservation
I'm part cherokee and my grandfather full blooded cherokee, my grandfather passed a couple years ago and I don't much about my heritage and I would like to learn I feel something missing
Too bad you didn’t tell us where we can visit . I am sure many would like visit. Hopefully you make another video and tell us . As a half native I am teaching my grandchildren what I know about my heritage. Hopefully they will pass on the knowledge to their grandchildren and not forget. 🥰

I grew up hearing all the white kids at school saying they were Cherokee on their great grandmothers side. I still hear it today 25 yrs later from men at work. I live in Northern Ohio. Most of the kids/men have German surnames. I don’t know. Maybe they say that to make them feel more “real American” or people of the land. I’m sure it’s an honor that whites want to be Cherokee but seems everyone says that. At least where I am from. I’m Mexican / German American by the way. ...Cherokee have beautiful culture
There was a lot of intermarriage though
I live in west Georgia. We have a lot of pine,oak and maple trees. Other than fire wood,I was wondering if anyone knew if the Cherokee or Creek people had any particular uses for these trees?
I found this interesting.

The Cherokee didn't live in western Georgia from what I recall, but you can ask the Seminole since their ancestors lived in your area
@@CrowdPleeza Wow, great resource. Thanks. Indians really knew how to use every part of a tree!
Oak and maple would make pretty strong longbows.
Love this place! Part Cherokee here
How big is your city?
Are you from cherokee too?
I'm Cherokee and I use to go there every year till 2000
Im 50 percent Cherokee I don't understand any of the language but I love the Cherokee life.
My grandma was Cherokee and my FIL is full blooded making my husband Excatly half. Our oldest son looks full blooded.
West Virginia, Cherokee pride 🤘
I pray for our people the younger generations needs to know more about our family bring more access to tele communication that would be nice
Great video
Thanks K P!
My mother is half Cherokee from Ok and i would love to get closer to my heritage Ive always felt a calling by the spirts. I've gone on a journey and seen my people dancing around me. I'm a worrier trap in a 2020 body
She’s from Oklahoma and is half Cherokee you most likely have close enough family on the Dawes roll for yourself to become a recognized member of Cherokee nation.
My grandmother was cherokee indian and i do have family and roots there
Black Foot My great grandma was Cherokee from this area and my great grandpa was Blackfoot!
@@cherryboo65b56 thats whats up!!!❤💚💜💙💛💯💯💯
Great grandparents lived on the reservation on Oklahoma.
My favorite place to go
2 of my great grandmothers were cherokee native Americans from north Carolina. I have old photos of them. I have had people over the years ask me if there was native American in my family because i looked like i was part native American. Im proud of my native American roots.
It looks quite fascinating.
i so appreciate this video, the Cherokee deserve our respect
Hi thanks this is similar to us haudenosaunee music 🎶 but i can tell the difference thanks for sharing and good luck with everything
Blackfoot, im still on the land my great great great grandmother was born, she married white and my grandfathers have made it to where the land and our tradions will always stay alive and in the family as will I. Thank you Father Jesus
Friendship dance at the end. Ositv nigad.
Where is the waterfall at the beginning of the video, I live in the area and would like to visit this waterfall. Thanks!
This reservation looks more better than the others

I am descendant of the great Cherokee nation and irsh I'm sick at 52 year iv lived a not good life now I think of death I wish I knew elders who would let me live in nature untill I go infront of the great father peace be with your hearts trail of no more tears
Beautiful!! One of them god´s chosen tribe.
The strength of the Cherokee Nation was commerce between it's various tribes. You can tell that the man at the trading post was a natural born salesman.
I am not Cherokee but my Great Great Grandfather was adopted by a chief. His name is Colonel, William Thomas. He was the first white man to be chief of the Cherokee people he bought the land for the Cherokee which is now the reservation
I'm part cherokee and my grandfather full blooded cherokee, my grandfather passed a couple years ago and I don't much about my heritage and I would like to learn I feel something missing
Me too.
Too bad you didn’t tell us where we can visit . I am sure many would like visit. Hopefully you make another video and tell us . As a half native I am teaching my grandchildren what I know about my heritage. Hopefully they will pass on the knowledge to their grandchildren and not forget. 🥰
This is the cherokee reservation in North Carolina
Indian village, up next to Unto These Hills, play
You can’t just visit them.
It’s a sign of disrespect.
I would love to visit

Hello. I've done my lineage and I've finally made it to my home! I have always felt like the robin who puts his ear to the ground and listens. My 4th great grandmother was born on the reservation in Arkansas. I literally just found out. Now I'm trying to find out who in the family has her headdress. This is exciting!
Curiosity, and no offense, but where is the Cherokee rez in Arkansas? I lived here 30 yrs, and as far as i know, the closest Cherokee rez is in OK. At Tahlequah, so you may have better success checking there.
Again no offense. But everybody i know who goes to the rez for medical or whatever ends up in Oklahoma
@@pjfountaine7755 Plumerville Arkansas
This is an old 1800's rez, not a current one I tried sharing a link but they took it down.
@@Creekstain cool. Osage, Quapaw and Caddo were originally here, but I guess many Cherokee came through on the way to OK from the east. Thanks for the info. I supposedly have some Native blood, from ancestors who lived in AR, but can't track it down. I'm beginning to wonder if they were even right about it
