Cherokee Nation
ᏣᎳᎩ (Tsalagi)
Cherokee Nation is a contemporary sovereign Tribal government based in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Its history connects southeastern homelands, forced removal in the 1830s, constitutional government in Indian Territory, and continuing governance within the Cherokee Nation Reservation.
Territorios de origen, gobierno y presencia contemporánea
Territorios históricos de origen
Cherokee homelands extended across a broad part of the southern Appalachian and southeastern United States, including areas now within Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia.
Gobierno
A constitutional, tripartite government with executive, legislative, and judicial branches. The Principal Chief, Deputy Principal Chief, and Tribal Council representatives are elected by Cherokee Nation citizens.
Presencia contemporánea
The Nation exercises government authority and provides public services from Tahlequah across its reservation in northeastern Oklahoma while serving citizens living within and beyond the reservation.
Tribal citizenship is a Nation-defined political status and is not the same measure as a U.S. Census race response.
This describes the Nation's stated reservation area; the atlas map displays only a headquarters point.
Fifteen councilors represent districts and two represent citizens living at large.
