Cherokee
Heritage Trail. From the serene peaks of the Balsams to
the muddy banks of the Little Tennessee River, Cherokee Heritage
Trails wind through the southern Appalachians, telling the story of
the Cherokee people, Ani-Kituhwa-gi, who once commanded all of the
Southern Appalachians. Although most of the Cherokee were forcibly
removed to Oklahoma on the Trail of Tears in 1838, a small group
remained in their homeland, becoming the Eastern Band of Cherokee
Indians. Today they own about 57,000 acres - the Qualla Boundary, a
remnant of their ancestral lands. SHOP ONLINE. Cherokee
