Cherokee

There are three federally recognized Cherokee tribes: the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, and the Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians. Sites about other Cherokee tribes should go in this subcategory: http://dmoz.org/Society/Ethnicity/Indigenous_People/Native_Americans/Tribes,_Nations_and_Bands/C/Cherokee/Communities,_Clans,_Bands,_Tribes_or_Nations

Some federally unrecognized tribes are legitimate, and others are fraudulently claiming to be tribes in order to exploit interest in native spirituality/genealogy. If you know a "tribe" is fake, then DO NOT publish it in this category.
