My band is from the Cherokee Indian Reservation, Cherokee, North Carolina. I am very proud of my Indian heritage and what it symbolizes. I will be telling some of that story later on as I update this page. I will try to update this page at least every two weeks. Not only did my Tribe suffer humilites, torture, death, and descrimanation, but also the other Tribes in the United States.
Tho times have changed, and things are better, some Tribes are still the objects of descrimanation.
We as Indians, have much to be proud of. Tho our fore - fathers suffered much, they handed down so many beautiful traditions and knowledge about their way of life, that we are able to understand, learn, and use their knowledge to help make the Indian life better today. The largest organized Indian reservation east of Wisconsin is located in the western reaches of the North Carolina mountains. Here in their ancient homeland, the North Carolina Cherokee still competes in bowmanship and blowgun contests, plays the ancient game of Indian Ball and participates in other primitive games and dances that were begun centuries before the white man ventured into the region. The reservation was once a hideout for Indians who refused to leave the Great Smokies during the Indian removals in 1838.
