Cherokee Indian Reservation

The Cherokee Indian Reservation, primarily located in eastern Oklahoma, is a designated area where the Cherokee Nation, one of the largest Native American tribes, exercises self-governance. It covers about 7,000 square miles, providing residents with tribal services, government, and legal jurisdiction. The reservation reflects Cherokee history, culture, and sovereignty, serving as a community for tribal members and preserving their traditions. It functions within the broader U.S. legal framework but maintains specific rights and governance processes unique to the Cherokee Nation.
