Eastern TN/NC Cherokee Nation

by Jason Terrell

When people think about the Cherokee, they often look to the Cherokee Nation in Oklahoma and the Dawes Roll when doing research.

Cherokee Family Researcher Jason Terrell will share the story of the Eastern Band and some of the differences between the Cherokees in the East and their cousins in Oklahoma.
