Cherokee people who lived temporarily in what is now Texas
Texas Cherokees were the small settlements of Cherokee people who lived temporarily in what is now Texas, after being forcibly relocated from their homelands, primarily during the time that Spain, and then Mexico, controlled the territory. After the Cherokee War of 1839, the Cherokee communities in Texas were once again forcibly removed to Indian Territory in present-day Oklahoma. When Union troops took control of Cherokee territory in 1863, many "Southern" Cherokees fled to Texas, but after the war, most of them returned to their homes in Indian Territory.[1] Others are part of the multitribal Mount Tabor Indian Community, or Tsalagiyi Nvdagi Tribe which have received commendations for their contributions to the State of Texas.[2]
