Your question is much too broad - narrow your question and I will try to answer.  They cannot have casinos, there are Indian child Welfare Act issues, there are treaty issues, etc.

Well, yeah!--Half Cherokee and half Irish! When the Cherokee were forced to walk "The Trail of Tears" there were many who managed to hide in the Great Smokey Mountains and didn't go West with the others. So, there are Cherokee spread out from the east coast to Texas. The Eastern Band are in North Carolina. They married a lot of the Irish settlers who liked the green hills of the Appalachian Mountains because they looked so much like the green hills of Ireland. That's why there are so many Cherokee/Irish people in the southeastern part of the USA. \nIrish tempers go on Warpaths!!

You can check with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Wikipedia has info on many Native American tribes and their respective histories.

JUst from the top of my head\n\nNo I dont beleive they were plain indians\nThey were short, strong legs and the reason there were so much difficulty catching them was because they were mountain people\nFor the longuest time they did not need horses.\n\nLater, they needed to live in the plains due to reservation policy.\nTHey were taken away from their natural territories to be located in reservations ( I think they were sent to the Four Corners (around Oklahoma) which was very different from where they came from....\n\nI have Mohawk ancestry...\n\nHope I am not too off the mark...

I can vouch that what the other posts are saying are true. The Osage just won their sovereignty, and they had to come up with their own constitution. Vote with elections just like we do for president etc. Native American tribes had many forms of govt before people showed up here, they are trying to gain some freedom in getting those govts back. It is a good thing actually.

there is a Cherokee legend each person has two wolves living inside of them. one represents good the other represents evil. the one that wins is the one the person feeds the most

personally, I would find a native-american (indian) and ask him or her. they know the history and habits of most animals and have a sacred place in their hearts for the eagle. i would try the cherokee reservation website, to begin with. Other than than,any on line encyclopedia can help. try google

Most of the people I've known from Oklahoma I've met at Pow Wows, and have been Cherokee. I also think about Will Rodgers and Woody Guthrie when somebody mentions Oklahoma. And of course, the Dust-Bowlers of my youth. Hoyt Axton too.

First do a search for the names of Native American Tribes.  That will give you a good start for all the information you will need.
