Eastern Band of Cheorkee Indians

Cherokee Nation went to Capitol Hill to ask that a nearly 200-year-old treaty be honored to give the tribe representation in the federal government. However, the other two federally recognized Cherokee tribes say they also deserve representation.

In July, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Tribal Council voted to support a resolution to rename Clingmans Dome to Kuwohi – which translates to the Mulberry Place.
