Cherokee Culture is both rich and storied. Cherokees and "pre-Cherokees" have lived in the south eastern United States and the mountains of North Carolina since the end of the last ice age, before the begining of the PaleonIndian Period (10,000BC). Most historians postulate that Cherokees are decended from what was a branch of the Iroquoian people. Now some anthro-Linguists suggest that the Cherokee dialect suggests that the "Pre-Cherokee" (and therefore the original Cherokees) are the originators of both the Iroqoian and Cherokee peoples.

From our original lands which may have totalled over 250,000 square miles we now maintain our culture on approximately 56,000 acres.
