Actually, there is an Eastern Cherokee nation that is not affiliated with the Oklahoma Cherokee tribe.   Their ancestors lived in the Smokey Mountains and were not rounded up and force marched to Oklahoma on "The Trail of Tears."

(Cherokee, North Carolina) is the capital of the federally recognized Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, one of three recognized Cherokee tribes and the only one in North Carolina.
