Welcome

Our mission is to preserve and document the history, culture and genealogy of the Cherokee people. We provide the tools and resources with which descendants can discover and preserve their family heritage, learn more about who they are, and join together with tribal members. Here you can gain knowledge of the spiritual aspects, learn the language, hear music and news in native tongue, or read about the secrets of the Cherokee medicine men.

Trail of Tears on Television
Georgia Public Broadcasting is airing repeat showings of "Trail of Tears," the third episode in a groundbreaking five-part series called "We Shall Remain."

The series chronicles the histories of several American Indian tribes. The April 27 epi-sode told the story of the Cherokee and the tragic events of the Trail of Tears. Much of the action was filmed in Gordon County, which was the site of New Echota, the capital of the Cherokee Nation, said David Gomez, chief ranger at the New Echota Historic Site.

The production company filmed for four days at New Echota and then returned to shoot some final material, Gomez said. "New Echota was the location for a number of scenes that actually occurred here and was also used for some scenes that occurred elsewhere," he said. "For instance, the death of Major Ridge, which actually happened in Arkansas, was filmed at the Samuel Worcester house here."

Who are the Cherokee?
In 1776, William Bartram wrote:

"The Cherokee in their dispositions and manners are grave and steady; dignified and circumspect in their deportment; rather slow and reserved in their conversation; yet frank, cheerful and humane; tenacious of the liberties and natural rights of men; secret, deliberate and determined in their councils; honest, just and liberal, and are ready to always sacrifice every pleasure and gratification, even their blood, and life itself, to defend their territory and maintain their rights."

"The Cherokee are tall, erect and moderately robust; their limbs well shaped, so as generally to form a perfect human figure; their features regular, and countenance open, dignified, and placid, yet the forehead and brow are so formed as to strike you instantly with heroism and bravery; the eye, though rather small, yet active and full of fire, the iris always black, and the nose commonly inclining to the aquiline. Their countenance and actions exhibit an air of magnanimity, superiority, and independence. Their complexion is a reddish brown or copper colour; their hair, long, lank, coarse, and black as a raven, and reflecting the like lustre at different exposures to the light. The women of the Cherokees are tall, slender, erect and of a delicate frame; their features formed with perfect symmetry; the countenance cheerful and friendly; and they move with a becoming grace and dignity"

Cherokee Social Network
There are many sites worldwide where people can meet compatible and like-minded singles of their own nationality for dating or even marriage.

This is the Cherokee Social Network.
