Abstract:
In response to a claim that there were no Cherokees in Cherokee County, the author provides the location and numbers of all registered Cherokees in North Carolina counties. New definitions of what an Indian may be are examined, as well the challenges faced when registering peoples of Indian inter-marriage as one tribe or the other. Often the government does not recognize the origins of certain groups of people, and therefore may overlook the Cherokees hidden in the mix.
