Answer 2

What is interesting about the area I live in is the number of different license plates (tags) that are Native American.  Many are from tribes I have never heard of.  I saw a red Mustang just yesterday with a red Muscogee Nation plate that read "INDPONY." I live in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Indian Territory.  These tribes live in my county and a couple of other adjoining counties and their headquarters are the same name as the town.  For example, the Caddo nation's headquarters is in Caddo, Oklahoma.

Most are integrated, but we do have a few reservations and quite a few casinos.  We have a museum that features many Native American items and a couple of tourist Indian villages near Tulsa.  There are local re-enactments of the "Trail of Tears." There are yearly pow wows.  I was shopping in Sears one day and there was a woman there buying a dress for a pow wow.  Some still smoke peyote, especially at pow wows and Indian religious ceremonies.  My son worked with someone who was trying to decide whether they (personally) should give up peyote.  

Oral Roberts, whose university is in our town, is part Cherokee.  The person who is running for state office told me he is part Cherokee and part Choctaw and has a lot of Indian support.  Many well-known people in our town have Indian roots.

ORIGINS

http://www.accessgenealogy.com/native/ok...  (this link tells where the tribes were originally from)

Five Civilized Tribes

"The Five Civilized Tribes was a loose confederation, formed in 1859, of North American Indians in what was then INDIAN TERRITORY (in present-day Oklahoma). The group comprised the Iroquoian-speaking CHEROKEE and the Muskogean-speaking CHICKASAW, CHOCTAW, CREEK, and SEMINOLE. They were described as "civilized" because of their early adoption of  many of the white man's ways.  Under the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the Five Tribes were deported from their traditional homelands east of the Mississippi and forced to settle in Indian Territory.  Each organized an autonomous state modeled after the U.S. federal government, established courts and a formalized code of laws, constructed schools and developed a writing system patterned on the one earlier devised by the Cherokee."

Answer 3

In the early 1800s, gold was found in the mountains of north Georgia. The natives (Cherokee) were forced out of Georgia in what is called the "Trail of Tears". As the name suggest, it was a journey of hardship and death. They were herded to Oklahoma but some escaped and went to the mountains of North Carolina. There is a reservation there. My family has one Cherokee female in our line but we don't know her name.
