Cherokee

Cherokee (7.LXIII.i).

A member of an Iroquoian North American Indian people, formerly inhabiting much of the southern USA (Bib:OED). The Cherokees were evicted from their homeland by the Indian Removal Act of 1830, a resettlement known as the Trail of Tears, to which Walcott refers in 4.XXV.i. Cf. Sioux (3.XXXI.iii) and Choctaw (7.LXIII.i).
