The Cherokees are original residents of the American southeast region, particularly Georgia, North and South Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Here is a map showing the location of the original Cherokee territory. Most Cherokees were forced to move to Oklahoma in the 1800's along the Trail of tears

Answer:

They were located in the eastern US

Step-by-step explanation:

Prior to the 16th century, the Cherokee were located in the eastern United States, but were eventually expelled by whites to the Ozark Plateau, which is located between the Missouri and Arkansas rivers.

Nowadays, Cherokee groups recognized by the US government are divided into tribes in Tahlequah, Oklahoma, home to the Cherokee Nation and United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is located in North Carolina. In addition to these territories, considered the best known, there are tribes in places such as Alabama, Missouri, Georgia, Arkansas and Tennessee.
