DESCRIPTION:
The Cherokee is the biggest native American tribe in the US numbering 140.000 Cherokee people. There are still 10.400 native Cherokee speakers living in America. Their language is an Iroquoian language. In the 19th century, historians and ethnographers recorded their oral tradition that told of the tribe having migrated south in ancient times from the Great Lakes region, where other Iroquoian-speaking peoples were located. The Cherokee refer to themselves as Tsalagi (ᏣᎳᎩ) or Aniyvwiyaʔi (ᎠᏂᏴᏫᏯᎢ), which means "Principal People." The earliest Spanish rendering of Cherokee, from 1755, is Tchalaquei.

Many known Americans had Cherokee origins. Worth mentioning that Elvis Presley was Cherokee Indian on the maternal side. Johnny Depp is likewise Cherokee Indian on the maternal side.
