Upon settling in Indian Territory (present-day Oklahoma) after the Indian Removal Act, the Cherokee people established a new government in what is now the city of Tahlequah, Oklahoma. Today, the Cherokee Nation is the largest tribe in the United States with more than 380,000 tribal citizens worldwide.
