When tracing Native American history, stumbling into Cherokee Nation is only natural. This tribal was and is one of the biggest Native American tribes left in America. In 19th Century, The Nation, as it is called by its inhabitants, this tribe consisted of the Cherokee inhabitants of Qualla Boundary who moved to the Indian Territory voluntarily to the southeastern side of United States. The way Cherokee Nation lives now and then, however, is different from many different aspects. Though the people in Cherokee Indian Nation today are still the descent of what it was in 19th Century, but the system of living has now changed.
